1 Nephi 16:9-10—They find the Liahona.
I’ve always wished for a Liahona—something I could hold in my hands that would point the exact way that I should go. Something outside myself that would write clear, specific instructions for me.
I know the “words of Christ” point the way for us. Latter-day prophets point the way. But so much of it seems to be in very broad strokes, generalities, rather than specifics.
But then again, some of it is not.
Family prayer morning and night
Daily family scripture study
Weekly Family
Home Evening
Regular temple attendance
Visiting and Home Teaching
Tithes and offerings
Sunday attendance & Sabbath day
observance
Family History
Food storage and 72-hour kits
Word of
Wisdom
Missionary work
No tattoos or piercings
No R-rated movies
All of that is pretty specific. How many of them do I do? Why should the Lord give me a Liahona when I sometimes ignore the specific instructions He has already given me?
