1 Nephi 1:11
Scripture Study
What
the Lord (One)
came down from heaven to the earth and the first (the Lord) stood
before him, Lehi, and gave him a book and bade him that he should
read.
Why
Lehi had prayed
on behalf of his people of Jerusalem. He saw and heard much and went
home to bed and now he has another vision and saw God and Christ and
now the Lord brings him a book to read tha would tell him more
because he prayed sincerely.
Pattern
The Lord showed a
Book to Ezekial to read. It was full of lamentations and mournings
(a scroll).
Rev. 5:1 and Rev.
10:2-9 John sees a little book sealed with 7 seals. D&C 77:6 The
book John saw revealed the will and mysteries of God.
Christ
Christ delivered
the book to Lehi. He personally directs His prophets.
Apply
Lehi, Ezekiel and
John were given books to read in order to receive more revelations.
We are given books (the scriptures) to read from God as well and when
we read, we too can be filled with the Spirit of the Lord so that we
can see how they apply to our lives.
What a huge
blessing it is for us to have the scriptures for everyone to read in
our day! Even electronically and with wonderful cross references
too!

Make the Exercise
of Faith Your First Priority
Don't yield to
Satan's lie that you don't have time to study the scriptures. Choose
to take time to study them. Feasting on the word of God each day is
more important than sleep, school, work, television shows, video
games, or social media. You may need to reorganize your priorities
to provide time for the study of the word of God if so, do
it!....Through daily, consistent scripture study, you will find peace
in the turmoil around you and strength to resist temptations. You
will develop strong faith in the grace of God and know that through
the Atonement of Jesus Christ all will be made right according to
God's timing.
