3 Nephi 17

Reading Assignment for Friday, March 30: 3 Nephi 17

Learning Activities:

1) Read 3 Nephi 17:3 and then add this quote from Pres. Eyring to your scriptures:
“Reading, studying, and pondering are not the same. We read words and we may get ideas. We study and we may discover patterns and connections in scripture. But when we ponder, we invite revelation by the Spirit. Pondering, to me, is the thinking and the praying I do after reading and studying in the scriptures carefully” (Henry B. Eyring, “Serve with the Spirit,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2010, 60).

Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained the relationship between writing, studying, pondering, and receiving revelation:


“Writing down what we learn, think, and feel as we study the scriptures is another form of pondering and a powerful invitation to the Holy Ghost for continuing instruction” (David A. Bednar, “Because We Have Them before Our Eyes,” New Era, Apr. 2006, 6–7).
