Spiritual Effort for Revelation

During home teaching, I heard HWN in discussing President Eyrings message from this month’s ensign. Here’s a quote that sticks out to me:

“In general conference twice a year, we are blessed with the opportunity to hear the word of the Lord for us from His servants. That is a privilege beyond price. But the value of that opportunity depends on whether we receive the words under the influence of the same Spirit by which they were given to those servants (see D&C 50:19–22). Just as they receive guidance from heaven, so must we. And that requires of us the same spiritual effort.”

This was a good reminder for me of the importance of my conscious effort in seeking spiritual guidance — I can’t just wait for it to come!
