1 Nephi 2:1

Lehi was blessed because of his obedience, the "things which thou hast done."   But because of his faithful obedience, his life was threatened, and he had to take his family, leave behind all his earthly wealth, and depart into the wilderness.

I looked up some of the other people who heard the words "Blessed art thou" in the scriptures.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, Luke 1:28
Simon Peter Matthew 16:17
Lehi 1 Nephi 2:1
Nephi 1 Nephi 2:19
Alma Mosiah 26:15
Alma the Younger Alma 8:15
The wife of Lamoni Alma 19:10
Joseph Smith D&C 6:10

All of these people were on a path of righteousness; some had been travelling it longer than others, but they all had a long ways to go and many challenges to face before they were done with this life.

My questions are:

What choices were these people making on a daily basis?

How did they live their lives after they heard these words?

What do I need to be doing to be/feel blessed of God?
