Mosiah 12

(March 2, 2015)
                I love seeing the progression of Abinidi.  In the beginning of his ministry, he is solely speaking the words of the Lord that were given to him.  But in his eventual defense, he speaks very little directly quoting the Lord.  He expounds some scripture, but mostly he has become someone the Lord can trust to speak the truth and so he is able to speak for himself.


                There is a pattern here that is consistent with not only our speaking but our actions as well.  First we must turn our wills over to the Lord.  By so doing, He teaches us until we are in the position to act for ourselves according to His principles and be counted on to do the right thing.  If the Lord desires something different, He will let us know.  But the first step must always be hewing closely to the Lord.
