In 1 Nephi chapter 15, Laman and Lemuel we’re asking questions concerning the
branches of the olive tree and the gentiles. “And Nephi said unto them: Have ye
inquired of the Lord?”

As I read that, it resonated with me causing me to think, do I “adequately” inquire
of the Lord? As I pondered that thought, my mind asked, do I inquire on those
things that He would have me understand or do? I thought that I do inquire on
those things I’m interested in, but are they things that the Lord would have me
know or do? My first thought was to better understand the character of the Lord,
and then His life came to mind on how His life was all about loving and serving
others. Then I thought, what can I do for others or how can I demonstrate His love
by serving others? If I’m praying more and pondering more the things of God, what a
blessing we could be to God and others by drawing ourselves closer to our God
and his children.

My testimony is that God does live, and Jesus is the Christ and Redeemer of the
world, and the Spirit does testify of the things that He would have us know and do.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
