1 Mosiah 3: And he also taught them concerning the records which were engraven on the plates of brass, saying: My sons, I would that ye should remember that were it not for these plates, which contain these records and these commandments, we must have suffered in ignorance, even at this present time, not knowing the mysteries of God.
I can echo the appreciation that King Benjamin has for the scriptures in these verses...I am so very thankful that I too have the scriptures to share with my children and to help strengthen us all to come to His Son - Jesus Christ.
The Book of Mormon that we have today allows me to come to know God's will, instructions, and patterns as I read from it. However, the greatest thing that the Book of Mormon does for me is allow me to know with surety that God does fulfill promises as he did for those writers in The Book of Mormon ( since I am now reading their words and that is what they requested.)
Because I have the Book of Mormon to read each day- as I see it on my table- it is a direct reminder to me that modern day prophets are real.
Because I have the book of Mormon - each time that I open it's pages and feel the spirit guide me in its words - I know that I am not left alone
In my life to wonder upon my purpose - but I know that I am a child of God.
Because I have the Book of Mormon - I have a marvelous witness that Joseph Smith is a prophet and that the Restored church is truly on the earth today and how blessed I am to be a part of it.
I am very thankful for these reminders and witnesses in my life daily - As I see that special book on my table and taste of it's fruit that it has brought to my life as I ponder upon it's words - I want to share the joy that it brings me with everyone.
I say this in the name of Jesus Christ.Amen.
