1st Nephi, Chapter 2

We know Lehi was the cousin of Laban, so his wealth was very desirable.

He gave it all up upon his true conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Verse 4: And it came to pass that he departed into the wilderness. And he left his house, and the land of his inheritance, and his gold, and his silver, and his precious things, and took nothing with him, save it were his family, and provisions, and tents, and departed into the wilderness.

Then Lehi and his family travel for three days.

Here's a part you will be inspired by, there in verse 7 (keep in mind, he's given up it ALL, and is having to lead his family into the wilderness).

Verse 7: And it came to pass that he built an altar of stones, and made an offering unto the Lord, and gave thanks unto the Lord our God.

Lehi's riches had been replaced with riches on high.
