"And we need not just one revelation in a time of stress, but a constantly renewed stream" Henry B Eyring
How do we expect to be able to get revelation from God if we do not constantly seek him? Without a steady diet of prayer and scripture study, we will not know or understand how God talks to us. We need to use the Gift of the Holy Ghost daily for it to be truly active in our lives.
President Eyring outlined this pattern for us:
- He studied the words God had already revealed in the scriptures.
- He pondered what he had read and felt.
- He returned to the scriptures often and carefully.
- Out of the faith he gained by studying and pondering, he resolved to pray.
- When revelation came, he received truth and light, lived the truth he had been given, and sought more truth.
- He returned to the scriptures again and received further revelation from God, which he wrote down.
- He continued to pray and obey, thus receiving even further light and instructions.
