“My Heart Pondereth Continually Upon the Things Which I Have Seen and Heard”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
It is one thing to have a revelation and quite another to understand it. The Pharaoh of Egypt dreamed a dream but could not interpret it (Genesis 41:1-32). Belshazzar saw the hand of the Lord write a message upon a wall but could not translate it (Daniel 5:1-31). The world is full of people who have the Bible but understand little if any of its heaven-sent message. Nephi saw a marvelous vision in his youth (1 Nephi 11-14) and spent a lifetime growing in his understanding of it.
