“As I Inquired of the Lord”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
The power of Jacob’s message lies in the simple fact that lie was a true messenger of the Father-he inquired of the Lord, sought out the divine will, asked of God. The choice of message was not his. He sought to say and do only what the Lord would have said and done under similar circumstances.
