"And now there was nothing in all the land to hinder the people from prospering continually, except they should fall into transgression."
3 Nephi 6:5
It's interesting here that the only thing that could stop the people from prospering was transgression, and they did pretty well for a few verses, but then they started falling apart again.
This is often true on a smaller scale as well. We do really well for a while, but then perhaps we get used to prospering or forget that we need the Lord's help to be successful, and there we go, off on a less optimal path once again... or a highway to hell, if you will, unless we turn around and repent, heading back to God. ... Today, let's make sure we aren't getting in our own way by wandering away from God's path.
