3 Nephi 13:8; "...for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him."
-What does this mean exactly? I've learned about needs vs wants my whole life and I'm sure my definition of them is totally different compared to the Lord. I know that God knows all things and that He just wants us to do our part and have faith in Him to ask Him for things. I should ask Him more often what is good for me and what I need, what blessings and desires I should have in my life.
"lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,"
Bruce R. McConkie said
"While yet on earth men may lay up treasures in heaven. These treasures earned here and now in mortality, are in effect deposited to our eternal bank account in heaven where eventually they will be reinherited again in immortality. Treasures in heaven are the character, perfections, and attributes which men acquire by obedience to law. Thus, those who gain such attributes of godliness as knowledge, faith, justice, judgment, mercy, and truth, will find these same attributes restored to them again in immortality. (Alma 41:13-15.) 'Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.' (D. & C. 130:18.)" (Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 1:239)
-We are asked to focus on what is important. In vs 22, it says to make sure our eye is single or focused on that we are supposed to be doing. I think that if we focus our attention on things that Christ wants us to we will be filled with His light.
"seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" (3 Nephi 13:33)
- Seek to do as the Lord has directed and know what is asked of us and what we should be working on by studying the word of God both scriptures and modern day revelation.
Blessing- I get peace and comfort from the scriptures.
