Show Up, Listen, Ponder, Act

  

Therefore, go ye unto your homes, and ponder upon the things which I have said, and ask of the Father, in my name, that ye may understand, and prepare your minds for the morrow, and I come unto you again. 3 Nephi 17: 3

 

Christ has spoken to his disciples. He counsels them to go home, ponder what he's told them so they can understand. Then, prepare themselves for the next day when they will hear more from him. 

This is the pattern we follow for our church's semi-annual general conferences. We show up (or tune in). We listen. We go home. We ponder so we can understand. Then we show up again to hear more from Christ or his servants. 

Then it's important that we act on what we've heard. 

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only James 1: 22
