We are familiar with the phrase “feast upon the word” and we
automatically think of the written word of Christ. We’re grateful for additional scriptures that
give us more of His word. But look at
this chapter again and you’ll find that the word of Christ Nephi speaks of is
personal revelation through the Holy Ghost (see verses 2, 3 and 5), which will
tell us what to do once we have entered the path. It is a challenge to recognize and follow
personal revelation. Thank goodness we
live in a time when there are living prophets to help illuminate the way. But that doesn’t negate the need, nor the
Lord’s desire, for us to follow promptings of the Spirit. How can we do this? Nephi teaches us the way to develop the
ability: prayer as explained in verses 8 and 9.
