"And it came to pass that they fought all that day, and when the night came they slept upon their swords."
Ether 15:20
This is talking about the end of the Jaredite civilization, where they are so focusd on hating each other that they just spiral downward through war into the destruction of everyone. What I thought of when I was reading it is our tendency to obsess, and focus on the wrong things. If we use that tendency and focus on the Lord, then we can accomplish a lot, but if we try to put something (anything) in the Lord's place, then that intensity of focus turns against us, harming rather than healing.
Today, let's let our ability to be single-minded and stubborn work for us as we focus on good and the gospel, rather than letting it destroy us as it did the Jaredites.
