3 Nephi 1:21 talks about the new start that the wise men were watching for and noticed as soon at it appeared. They also took off to go find the Savior born as a baby as soon as they knew about it.

-The people had many miracles and signs of the Savior that should have strengthened their testimony and given them the desire to live righteously in order to be more like Him. But they began to harden their hearts and disbelieve the prophecies.

Neal A. Maxwell said,

"How quickly [Satan] moves in even where people have had special spiritual experiences, seeking to get people who have seen signs 'To disbelieve all which they had heard and seen.' (3 Nephi 2:1-2.) The adversary has a better chance to persuade us that what we believe is foolish if we worry about looking foolish in front of our fellowmen. We read about the subtleties of the devil and that the adversary persuadeth not one man to do good. (Alma 12:4; Moroni 7:17.)" (Things As They Really Are, p. 41)

We must be thankful for the blessings we have because someone is praying for them.

Heber J.

Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
