10:17 - "I, Nephi, was desirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of these things"
Nephi desired to see the same things as his father, and he received the same vision later on. He received it by the power of the Holy Ghost, because by that power we can know "the truth of all things."
If we want to know truth, we pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ, and receive the answer by the Holy Ghost.
10:19 - "...he that diligently seeketh shall find..."
It shows the importance of asking as well as looking. We could be looking all we can for inspiration and help, but if we don't ask for it, we may not receive it! Acting in faith needs to include asking in faith.
10:20-21 - "...for all thy doings thou shalt be brought into judgment..."
Our acts shall be brought into judgment, but also our words and our thoughts (Alma 12:14).
It's up to us to keep ALL of our thoughts and intentions...and actions...pure.
Especially liked - acting in faith needs to include asking in faith. It is important!
