"And now, these are the words which king Benjamin desired of them; and therefore he said unto them: Ye have spoken the words that I desired; and the covenant which ye have made is a righteous covenant."
Mosiah 5:6
King Benjamin is amazing, and reading this today I was thinking about how he must have felt, actually seeing the people swayed by his words and the Spirit testifying to the truth of them. Seeing his people that he had spent the majority of his life ruling want to change and grow closer to the Lord through covenant. He was just a person, as we all are, but he was an instrument in the hands of God to be part of something amazing like this. I imagine that he was overjoyed at seeing his people progress and change for the better like this.
Today, let's consider what God would have us do in our lives. There is a plan and a work for everyone, if we are willing to take it up and be part of his work. Let's counsel with God about our work, and then jump in and strive for a taste of what King Benjamin was feeling here.
