It's a Trap!

The Content:

Alma 43

Verse 34-36

And it came to pass that the Lamanites came up on the north of the hill, where a part of the army of Moroni was concealed.

And as the Lamanites had passed the hill Riplah, and came into the valley, and began to cross the river Sidon, the army which was concealed on the south of the hill, which was led by a man whose name was Lehi, and he led his army forth and encircled the Lamanites about on the east in their rear.

And it came to pass that the Lamanites, when they saw the Nephites coming upon them in their rear, turned them about and began to contend with the army of Lehi.

The Comments:

Moroni's trap is sprung, and the Lamanites fall right into it.

Notice that the army of Lehi waits until what had to have been an appointed time/place for the Lamanites to be before they attacked. Sometimes timing if everything, and if we are early or late things can go awry.

The Spirit, for instance, is constantly trying to help us. Either warn us or turn us in the right direction. He often gives us a sense of urgency that whatever it is he is prompting us to do needs to be done right away. We need to listen to those promptings, and align our timing as much as we can with the Lord's and the Spirit's. If we do, we will be successful in our plans and goals.
