“Every One According to the Heed and Diligence Which They Gave Unto Him”

W. Cleon Skousen

Having mentioned the ball or director which was given to Lehi, King Benjamin feels he should point out that this Liahona instrument only functioned under certain conditions. He says:

“Therefore, as they were unfaithful they did not prosper nor progress in their journey, but were driven back, and incurred the displeasure of God upon them; and therefore they were smitten with famine and sore afflictions, to stir them up in remembrance of their duty.”
