Study

In 1832, Joseph Smith and some of the early leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were directed to start a school. God wanted them to learn, grow, and be prepared to lead others. This group of members did not have degrees from universities or even much education. They didn’t have a lot of money or resources. In the scriptures, God taught them a pattern for learning, 

“And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith”  (Doctrine and Covenants 88:118). 

God teaches that we need to learn by study, and we also need to learn by faith. We give our best effort, and we ask God in prayer to send His Spirit to open our minds and hearts to learn. The Spirit gives us more understanding than is possible on our own. Having a great teacher or a great book can help, but God can teach us even if we don’t have those things. As we learn by study and by faith, God can help us learn more than we thought was possible.
