Join us today as we continue the study of this week's Come Follow Me with an abridgment of the Jaredite record. We consider how directly the Lord can direct our paths and we reflect on the importance on actively seeking guidance from the Lord.
Elder Jeffrey R Holland: “In the dispersion from the Tower of Babel, the people of Jared arrived at ‘that great sea which divideth the lands,’ where they pitched their tents, awaiting further revelation about crossing the mighty ocean. For four years they awaited divine direction, but apparently they waited too casually, without supplication and exertion. Then came this remarkable encounter . . . It is difficult to imagine what a three-hour rebuke from the Lord might be like, but the brother of Jared endured it. With immediate repentance and prayer, this prophet again sought guidance for the journey they had been assigned and those who were to pursue it. God accepted his repentance and lovingly gave further direction for their crucial mission.”
