Nephi's Resolve

"And it came to pass after I, Nephi, having heard all the words of my father, concerning the things which he saw in a vision, and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he received by faith on the Son of God—and the Son of God was the Messiah who should come—I, Nephi, was desirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of these things, by the power of the Holy Ghost, which is the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek him, as well in times of old as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the children of men." - 1 Nephi 10:7


I find it interesting that Nephi was not content to just be taught by his father. He wanted to "see, and hear, and know" for himself. He had the faith that if he sought diligently, that is would be made known to him by the power of the Holy Ghost.

We should have the resolve of Nephi. I have received answer to my prayers when I have requested additional understanding. I know that our Father in Heaven will reveal his mysteries to those that seek them.
