Never Give Up...

Alma 43
Verse 22

Behold, now it came to pass that they durst not come against the Nephites in the borders of Jershon; therefore they departed out of the land of Antionum into the wilderness, and took their journey round about in the wilderness, away by the head of the river Sidon, that they might come into the land of Manti and take possession of the land; for they did not suppose that the armies of Moroni would know whither they had gone.

The Comments:

Verse 21 states that the Lamanites are afraid of the Nephites and their fancy-shmancy armor and weapons. So they bolt from Jershon and wander around to the land of Manti to attack.

Note that the Lamanites did not run home.  They were afraid, but determined.  They changed their tactics and moved their approach.

Satan will do the same thing. If he finds that we've taken steps or have been prepared in one area of our lives, then he will simply pull back, circle for a bit and find a new weakness to expose.  I'm pretty sure there is nothing in any of Satan's plans that include giving up. Especially on us.

The Lord doesn't give up on us either. Our goal needs to be to stay on the Lord's side, and go with what He tells us and asks us to do, instead of listening to the lies and deceit from Satan.
