1 Thessalonians 5:21 -- On Proving All Things

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
1 Thessalonians 5:21


This reminds me of Alma 32 and "experiment upon my words" (verse 27).

God wants us to find our for ourselves.  Talking about tithing, he says "prove me now herewith," asking us to try the principle and let him show us how it works.  He tells us that "by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things" (Moroni 10:5), so he's definitely not limiting us to one principle, but asking us to reach out and try... "even if ye can no more than desire to believe..." (Alma 32:27), he tells us to plant that seed of faith and watch it grow until we know more.

Today, let's go with the spirit.  Let's go before God with our questions and our desires and ask God everything we want to know.  It might not come in a single lightning bolt of knowledge... but then again, it might.  God wants us to ask him, and he wants to help us believe.  Let's be bold and faithful enough to try.  And then, when we know, let's hold on to that testimony and never let it go.
