Focus to Understand: Attentiveness Breeds Clarity

Understanding divine experiences requires intentional focus and the elimination of distractions. By actively directing their attention—opening their ears and looking steadfastly toward heaven—the Nephites achieved clarity in their understanding. This process emphasizes the need for agency and proactivity in one's spiritual journey, akin to noticing a burning bush or silencing worldly distractions. When individuals concentrate solely on the divine, ignoring other voices and focusing on their spiritual goals, they enhance their capacity to comprehend the messages meant for them.
