How have you been blessed by hearing the Lord's voice through the voice of His servants, including latter-day prophets?
"4 And the voice of warning shall be unto all people, by the mouths of my disciples, whom I have chosen in these last days.
5 And they shall go forth and none shall stay them, for I the Lord have commanded them.
6 Behold, this is mine authority, and the authority of my servants, and my preface unto the book of my commandments, which I have given them to publish unto you, O inhabitants of the earth.
23 That the fulness of my gospel might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of the world, and before kings and rulers.
24 Behold, I am God and have spoken it; these commandments are of me, and were given unto my servants in their weakness, after the manner of their language, that they might come to understanding.
38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same." (Doctrine and Covenants 1: 4-6, 23-24, 38)
And here's the beginning part of the commentary entitled: "The Lord speaks through His servants, including latter-day prophets." :
"Section 1 begins and ends with the Lord’s declaration that He speaks through His chosen servants (see verses 4–6, 23–24, 38). Write down what you learn from this revelation about:
The Lord and His voice.
The Lord has chosen His disciples in these last days through whom His voice of warning is being heard by the people.
Why prophets are needed in our day.
What do you feel impressed to do as a result of what you find?
It looks like I need to listen more intently to the Lord's chosen servants and do what they say.
When have you heard the Lord’s voice through the voice of His servants? (see verse 38)."
I did hear the Lord's voice through the voice of His servants many times over. Now I will be more intentional when I am listening to the Lord's chosen servants.
