actions lead to understanding

One of my conversations with Brooke last week

left me with a topic to ponder...

We know that Adam offered sacrifices long before he understood why

Nephi made plates of ore "... for a wise purpose in him, which purpose I know not."

1 Nephi 9:5

The scriptures are full of examples of obedience, followed by

understanding, or testimony.

So often

most often

I want to understand why or I want to already have a testimony on a topic before I act. But that's not the Lord's way.

Actions first, testimony later.

Faith before miracles.

In my head, I often know a certain action is the right action ....

I am determined to do better following that knowledge

When I do so, I know that my testimony of that principle will become unshakeable.
