1 Nephi 13:21-22 -- On Seeking

"And the angel said unto me: Knowest thou the meaning of the book?
And I said unto him: I know not."
1 Nephi 13:21-22


Short one today, but just this little part made me think about how God teaches us, and it is often by asking questions... getting us to think about it and then seek the answer. In this case, as with many others, God gave Nephi part of the answer, just as he did for the Brother of Jared... solving one problem while leaving him to think about another (Ether 2:18-23).

I think God interacts with us in a similar way sometimes. He solves some problems, but with others he asks questions, sometimes gives us hints, knowing that we can solve it ourselves, and that we will be better for doing so.
Today, let's do more than just pray and expect answers... let's seek for more, seeking the answers to God's questions, and learning to develop our minds and spirits as we learn and explore the world and the gospel.
