Nov10- Ether 3:9&15

The brother of Jared was a man of incredible faith, the kind of faith that lead him to act. The fascinating thing here in this chapter is that it would appear that the faith of the brother of Jared was so great that it bound the Lord to reveal Himself to him.  The brother of Jared didn't ask for that blessing, it was given to him strictly by and because of His faith. Through our faith and our obedience we are able to bind the Lord for our blessings, not in a manipulative way, but our faith is what allows the Lord to pour out the blessings that He is already ready and anxious to give us!
