"Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.
Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come.
Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also;
For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power."
Doctrine and Covenants 71:3-6
It's interesting how different this instruction is compared to ways that we seek worldly power. Gos is there, offering us power, and wisdom, and knowledge. And what he asks is that we listen, learn, and grow... that what he offers us we will actually use, as we develop and become better, and as we have a positive influence on the world around us.
Today, rather than worldly power, let's seek the power that God offers us, working to recieve and use all that he gives us, and preparing the way for more, both in the world and in our own hearts.
