This chapter sees the Nephites attached by the Lamanites on
several fronts. In verse 9 Moroni,
leading the fight in one sector, asked Teancum, the leader of another sector, to
fortify the city of Bountiful and secure an important narrow pass so the
Lamanites wouldn't be able to “harass them on every side.” In our own personal struggles, we can learn
good strategy in this. Each of us has
some area of our lives in which we do better than in other areas. Let us not forget to “fortify” that area as
we battle in others. It’s not a bad
idea, when we’re feeling close to defeat, to look at the things we’re doing
right. Taking note of our successes is
one step in overcoming discouragement, thus preventing our enemy, whatever that
is, from being able to “harass [us] on every side.”
