Today we conclude the study of 2 Nephi 9 which has brought a vast number of principles that we need to learn from. We consider the importance of scholarly learning alongside spiritual development and how this balance can bless our lives. We also reflect on Jacob's message of hope as well as his warnings given to his people.
Dieter F Uchtdorf: Work can be ennobling and fulfilling, but remember Jacob’s warning not to “spend … your labor for that which cannot satisfy.” If we devote ourselves to the pursuit of worldly wealth and the glitter of public recognition at the expense of our families and our spiritual growth, we will discover soon enough that we have made a fool’s bargain. The righteous work we do within the walls of our homes is most sacred; its benefits are eternal in nature. It cannot be delegated. It is the foundation of our work as priesthood holders.
