Sometimes my soul isn’t hunting for anything. Is that necessarily a bad thing or is that sometimes okay to feel satiated?

In Sunday School this last week Brother Perry opened the discussion by asking about the wrestle Enos had and I raised my hand to answer partly because nobody else was answering. I said that Enos was hungering for a remission of his sins but on further reflection I realize that while he received a remission…

This concept of a soul hungering is not necessarily a one time thing. Enos writes about this experience as if it is a single experience and that is possible but we need not expect that we must have a singular experience and besides that, Enos may be telling us about a single experience that was…

I have often noted the way Enos’ concerns expanded with his change of heart, growing from his own soul to his people to the Lamanites. Today it occurred to me that his expanded concerns also led to a lifetime of expanded mission in which he spent his days preaching repentance.

Enos demonstrates the goodness of his great as he further and further assistance from the Lord in behalf of others as he finds confidence in his ability to ask and receive answers.
