“The Blessing of the Lord Shall Rest Upon Thee and Thy House”

D. Kelly Ogden, Andrew C. Skinner

Amulek told the story of his conversion. He and his family were blessed because he extended hospitality to a servant of the Lord. This recalls Abraham, who was blessed because of his hospitality (Genesis 18:1–10). Have you ever performed some act of kindness and been blessed for it beyond your thoughts? Brother Skinner recalls a time as a young man when his parents offered such a kindness without thinking anything about it. The kindness was returned years later at a time of family crisis when the reciprocated kindness was magnified a hundredfold. Such is the way the Lord works among his covenant people.
