Search, Study and Ponder

Today I read about how to be exactly obedient. A few things that stood out to me were: Doing exactly what the Lord asks will result in our comprehending the doctrines of eternity and realizing their ultimate benefit to us. Many people state that we are doing things with blind obedience like when Noah built the ark, or Nephi wrote two books because they didn't know where these things would lead to in the later times. It points out that this is not blind obedience but faith obedience. This also lead me to the though of emergency preparedness we were talking about it in church yesterday. We don't know if we will ever be the ones to need it or if we are being prepared so that we can help others. Like Nephi was preparing for when Martin Harris lost the pages of the manuscript. Lastly I will finish by adding what we have to do to have exact obedience not just the desire of exact obedience. We have to work hard to acheive it then we have to watch ourselves carefully to keep that level of faithfulness. Those things to help keep us at that level of faithfulness would be prayer, scripture study, temple worship, and serving others.
