January 13-19, 2020, 1 Nephi 8-10, “C​ ome and Partake of the Fruit”​ Monday, (1 Nephi 8:8) Why is that critical? Why must we pray when we are lost? What if I don't realize I am lost though? 1/13/2020

1 Nephi 8:1-10

Tuesday, (1 Nephi 8:21) In Lehi's he sees "numberless concourses of people, many of whom were pressing forward, that they might 1/14/2020 obtain the path which led unto the tree by which I stood." What does this teach us about humanity, and our inner tendencies to 1 Nephi seek God? How might this help us better relate to those of other 8:11-23 faiths?

Wednesday,​ (1 Nephi 8:37) We might think of how hard this must have been for Lehi to have seen - but can you imagine how this would have 1/15/2020 been for to hear? Why might God have chosen to show Lehi this, knowing Lehi would tell Laman and 1 Nephi Lemuel - what purpose might it have served? And how can we 8:24-38 empathize better with the experience Laman and Lemuel would be having at this point in the story?

Of course, with 1/16/2020 2,600 years of hindsight we know that at least one of these purposes was to compensate for the loss of the 116 earliest 1 Nephi 9 translated pages of the . But Nephi had no idea about any of that, as far as we can tell. So, what hidden but wise purposes might God have in your own life? How do we trust these purposes, when they truly are obscure to us?

Friday, (1 Nephi 10:2) How is the vision of Lehi connected to his prophecies about the future of Israel and the coming of Jesus 1/17/2020 Christ the savior? How are the themes of the tree of life - Divine love, righteousness, staying to God's word - connected to the 1 Nephi coming of Christ and story of Israel? 10:1-9

Saturday, (1 Nephi 10:14) How do we "come to the knowledge of the true Messiah"? What does that look like for you, as someone either by 1/18/2020 adoption or literally part of scattered Israel being discussed in this verse? 1 Nephi 10:10-16

thepracticaldreamers.org Sunday, (1 Nephi 10:17-19) Why is the Holy Ghost specifically a gift "unto all those who diligently seek [God]"? Why is diligent 1/19/2020 seeking so important?

1 Nephi 10:17-22
