"Yea... I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold the powers of hell would have been shaken forever." (Alma 48:17)
Nobody can deny the awesomeness of Moroni. He is one of the greatest role models in the Book of Mormon and has some of the coolest stories!
He teaches us an invaluable lesson about how we can combat Satan.
Up to this point he just won a huge victory over the Lamanites, A.K.A. The Nephite's nemeses.
Instead of relaxing because of the great victory, this is what he does:
"And now it came to pass that Moroni did not stop making preparations for war, or to defend his people... he caused his armies should commence... in digging up heaps of earth round about all the cities..."
(Alma 50:1)
Moroni NEVER stopped preparing.
When we finally win a victory over Satan, that is the time when we need to continue prayer, church attendance, and scripture study.
Too often do we forget to strengthen our borders when life gets easy, that's the time when we need to strengthen them the most.
Satan didn't win this time, but the minute we let our guard down, he will always come up with something bigger and better.
So read.
Pray.
Always build up your borders on the foundation of Christ
and the Lord has promised:
they will NEVER fail.
