Analysis of The Power Of God
Prologue: Why a daily scripture series? I believe sudying a chapter or section of scripture each day increases my spirituality. I also believe writing a poem each day, helps keep my mind active. I combine the two. Today, it is ch. 12 of Helaman from "The Book of Mormon; Another Testament of Jesus Christ." After this book, I hope to do "The Holy Bible", "The Doctrine And Covenants", and "The Pearl of Great Price", in that order. The original are usually in pros, so converion to verse is my task.

Humans are unstabe, and foolish, and quick to do many evil things.
The Lord chastenes those He loves, with the consequences He brings.
Man is as almost nothing when compared to God's power.
We should be ready to repent; every day and hour by hour!
A day of judgement shall come, when all shall gain inmortallity;
but whether in a kingdom of glory or one of damnation, shall it be?
