morning thought

I went to 1 Nephi, though I can completed it, and thought that I had a craving for Isaiah, so I listened to chapter 21 and instantly, I thought about the word pastor and how I knew that it was pastor, but in listening, alone I might hear pasture (later the word Pasture is used) and be confused, also I was determined to understand who "I" is and typically "I" always refers to the savior, but at this time I was thinking first of Joseph in Egypt and how he had himself from his brothers. Well, Joseph is a shadow of Jesus, so perhaps it is talking about Jesus, but then it say that he will be an instrument in making known  things unto the lost tribes of Israel in helping them know who they are and that this is no small thing. So, I decided it was Joseph Smith, and this was the first thought I had today. The second was that I messed up. I ought to be praying not trying to unravel scriptures. My dad was right, he somehow always knows and prepares my way of thinking so that I focus on and notice that correct things. Last time we visited he was talking about how cunning and thoughtful the new generations are, spotting easter eggs here and there, they always twist things and look beyond the mark...missing what matters most. I think that is exactly what the savior got so stinking mad at the news for, and why I gave Mary my Icelandic water to drink, to see a natural reaction. To a thing not being what it appeared to be (it was actually vinegar)she was likewise very upset. That's what I did in thinking about trying to unravel scriptures with my first thoughts instead of praying and communicating with my Father in Heaven...that matters most  (building a solid relationship - desiring that above all else).
