ScRiPtUrEs ArE AWESOME!

This morning I read Alma 29, which is an AMAZING chapter..
In Verses 9-10," I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hand of God to bring some soul unto repentance; and this is my joy. And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do remember hi merciful arm which he extended towards me."

When I read this this morning I thought to myself, wow, Alma is glorying in the commandments of God. Why don't I do that?  The Lord has blessed me and has helped me in so many things I think the least I can do is do what the Lord asks of me..
Yes, I'm not perfect, I don't think that I can be completely perfect at following the commandments. But I want to express my gratitude more to the Lord and His commandments.. I know that when I do, I will come to understand why they are important.
Remember who you are and what you stand for

    Scriptures ARE awesome! And commandments are too!! If it weren't for the commandments, I'd be one lost ducky!

    That is an awesome point. I don't think I glory in the Lord enough! I mean, He's the Redeemer of all mankind! He is so wonderful and loving and patient and smart. I should be boasting of my Lord more. :/
