"And it came to pass that when Aaron saw that the king would believe his words, he began from the creation of Adam, reading the scriptures unto the king--how God created man after his own image, and that God gave him commandments, and that because of transgression, man had fallen."
Alma 22:12
I like what happens here where the king trusts Aaron and is willing to believe him, and he is able to learn a lot. We live in a sometimes scary world, and trust can be difficult, but that's what allows us to learn from and understand each other, and I think it has a lot to do with how much we can learn from God as well, and how well we can understand him. Trust is that part of faith that lets us follow God's path even when we can't see exactly where we're headed. We know that God loves us and wants the best for us, so if we are willing, we can drop our walls with God and truly commune without all of those barriers we usually throw up when we're around people we don't trust.
Today, let's try to let down some our automatic barriers so that we can communicate with others in a better way, opening ourselves up to more understanding and knowledge. Let's also work on our trust with God, learning more about God and being willing to believe in his promises.
