Book of Mormon - 1 Nephi 8, Lehi's Vision

Jan 22, 2010: This has always been one of my favorite stories. What intrigued me today was the rod of iron alongside the straight and narrow path. So, the rod of iron is the word of God: the scriptures, words and counsel of the prophets. Essentially, it really is so easy to stay on the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life. We only have to follow the prophet of today and the prophets of the scriptures. Doing so will take us all the way to the Tree of Life and we will be able to eat of the fruit that is most sweet and most desirable. Of course, setting out on this journey may be a little difficult but our strength and ability will increase the more we put our mind to fulfilling our ultimate goal. And it will be worth every effort extended!
