"And it came to pass that Mosiah did read, and caused to be read, the records of Zeniff to his people; yea, he read the records of the people of Zeniff, from the time they left the land of Zarahemla until they returned again.
And he also read the account of Alma and his brethren, and all their afflictions, from the time they left the land of Zarahemla until the time they returned again.
And now, when Mosiah had made an end of reading the records, his people who tarried in the land were struck with wonder and amazement."
Mosiah 25:5-7
This reminds me of Moroni 10:3, which asks us to "remember how mercifult he Lord hath been," which we can't really do unless we know the stories. I love that Mosiah shared the history with his people and it was a shared experience for them, and a way to remember the Lord and his goodness and grace to us.
Today, let's read, and remember, and ponder the goodness of God in our lives, but also in the lives of others throughout history, because that helps us to understand his dealings with the children of men, but also the potential that we all have to partner with God and to make a difference in our lives and the lives of the people around us.
