Mosiah 29: 38; Alma 4: 15; 1: 25

How do you keep yourself steadfast and immovable?

"38 Therefore they relinquished their desires for a king, and became exceedingly anxious that every man should have an equal chance throughout all the land; yea, and every man expressed a willingness to answer for his own sins." (Mosiah 29: 38)

"15 And now it came to pass that Alma, having seen the afflictions of the humble followers of God, and the persecutions which were heaped upon them by the remainder of his people, and seeing all their inequality, began to be very sorrowful; nevertheless the Spirit of the Lord did not fail him." (Alma 4: 15)

"25 Now this was a great trial to those that did stand fast in the faith; nevertheless, they were steadfast and immovable in keeping the commandments of God, and they bore with patience the persecution which was heaped upon them." (Alma 1: 25)

And here's the introductory commentary for this week's reading assignment: "

"June 3–9: “They Were Steadfast and Immovable” Mosiah 29–Alma 4:

"Some might see King Mosiah’s proposal to replace kings with elected judges as merely wise political reform. But to the Nephites, especially those who lived under wicked King Noah, this change had spiritual significance too. They had seen how an unrighteous king had influenced his people, and they were “exceedingly anxious” to be free from such influence. This change would allow them to be responsible for their own righteousness and “answer for [their] own sins” (Mosiah 29:38).

Of course, the end of the reign of kings did not mean the end of problems in Nephite society. Cunning people like Nehor and Amlici promoted false ideas, nonbelievers persecuted the Saints, and many members of the Church became prideful and fell away. Yet “the humble followers of God” remained “steadfast and immovable” despite what happened around them (Alma 4:15; 1:25)." 

1) Knowing exactly what I want and 2) Keeping that vision always in front of me. These are the two things that are keeping me steadfast and immovable. The direction where I am going in every aspect of life is clear to me. Always looking at the big picture of where I'm heading has been empowering me to stay on track. Even though my weaknesses or mistakes would knock me down along my journey from time to time, I would always get back up on my feet and keep going onward the right direction.
