He hath confounded mine enemies, unto the causing of them to quake before me.
Nephi's enemies were his own brothers. Yet he never stopped loving them or trying to teach them and help them. If we love our enemies, the Lord will take care of them for us, and he will take care of us as well. Nephi did not have to defeat his enemies. God fought his battles for him, and they eventually defeated themselves. Nephi's challenge was not to beat his brothers, but to love them in spite of their being his enemies. When we face our enemies, do we gird on our armor or gird up our hearts?
