Plain and Simple

We recently finished reading 2 Nephi as a family.  The wonderful Isaiah chapters.  The great counsel from Lehi.  Warnings for us in our day.  One of my favorite scriptures:

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.  2 Nephi 30:15

Then Nephi sums everything up.  He speaks plainly so there is no misunderstanding.  We must be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, have unshaken faith in Christ, feast on the words of Christ, and pray always.
I have been pondering feasting, gaining soul nourishment from God's word.
In the end of 1 Kings, we get to read about Elijah.  What impresses me is his faith, the power behind those mighty miracles.  How much faith would it take to believe that birds will feed you for three years?  To raise someone from the dead?  To call down fire from heaven?  How do I develop that kind of faith?

Faith is like a little seed, if planted it will grow. (Faith, Children's Songbook)

We can begin with faith that doing the plain and simple things will bless our lives.  And as we feast on the words of Christ, we will receive His Spirit and His instruction for us, personally.
