Day 18
Read: 2 Nephi Chapters 26 thur 27
mark 2 Nephi 26:8
Looking for the path to safety in the counsel of prophets makes sense to those with strong faith...the choice not to take prophetic counsel changes the very ground upon which we stand. It becomes more dangerous. The failure to take prophetic counsel lessens our power to take inspired counsel in the future. The best time to have decided to help Noah build the ark was the first time he asked. Each time he asked after that, each failure to respond whould have lessened sensitivity to the Spirit. And so each time his request would have seemed more foolish, until the rain came. And then it was too late. - Elder Henry B Ering
How does following the prophet keep you safe?

What are you doing to avoid being deceived?

Sometimes we take our basptism for granted. What do you do to remember and increase your appreciation for your baptism.?
