Jacob the Rock

It is natural to feel fearful when our faith is challenged; when our spiritual world is rocked by another. Jacob in The Book of Mormon, however, was immovable in his testimony when confronted by one of the greatest religious antagonists of his time. He accomplished this by simply keeping in remembrance all the spiritual experiences he had had in his life. By doing so, it laid a firm foundation for him from which he could not be moved.

Jacob 7:5 And he had hope to shake me from the faith, notwithstanding the many revelations and the many things which I had seen concerning these things; for I truly had seen angels, and they had ministered unto me. And also, I had heard the voice of the Lord speaking unto me in very word, from time to time; wherefore, I could not be shaken.

LESSON LEARNED: Reminding ourselves of the Lord’s hand in our lives can provide a protective spiritual shield when our beliefs are questioned.
