Mosiah 22:2 — On Delivering Ourselves

"And it came to pass that they could find no way to deliver themselves out of bondage, except it were to tke their women and children, and their flocks, and their herds, and their and their tents, and depart into the wilderness; for the Lamanites being so numerous, it was impossible for the people of Limhi to contend with them, thinking to deliver themselves out of bondage by the sword."
Mosiah 22:2


Sometimes the situation in our lives is so bad that we need to run away, and God wants us to be able to study those things out in our minds and figure out the best way. Making a plan is a good thing, and God has often counseled retreat or getting out of a situation rather than facing it or suffering through it.

Today, let's consider our situation and if we need an escape, then let's plan for one. It doesn't mean that we're on our own... God will help us if we're doing things for the right reasons and including him in our plans. God is okay with us moving forward and trying to figure things out, and he'll help us when we get stuck.
