Mosiah is a very righteous leader, one thing that impresses me that he says is that he is going to go down and with with his people even though he is old, and he says "we did go up in the strength of the Lord to battle." (Mosiah 10:10)

- We should all go to battle against satan in our own life using the strength that the Lord has promised us. Why leave our tools and weapons at home when we were given them and told, how, when, and where to use them?

It is interesting that King Laman is so righteous and yet he has such a wicked son King Noah who does everything against the Lord and His commandments. You would think after thousands of years that our Father in Heavens people would understand and learn that following Satan's plan doesn't do anyone any good they just live a more miserable life because of it.

It talks of people who did "labor exceedingly to support iniquity." (Mosiah11:6)
-People have been doing this since the beginning of time, it is one of Satans old tricks and to be caught in it and fall for his flattery is foolish. People all over the world labor all their day to support their iniquity or their sins.
How can we make sure we are teaching our children to be aware of Satans traps and flattery?
I think teaching them to live the gospel and to what source they must go to receive answers and help. Teaching them that worldly possessions will only satisfy them for a moment but living the gospel will satisfy and bring happiness forever.

Blessing: We have  Prophet who is a righteous leader and who guides us and directs us to be the best we can.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
