Inquire

Ether 1:38

"And it came to pass the Jared spake again unto his brother, saying: Go and inquire of the Lord whether he will drive us out of the land, and if he will drive us out of the land, cry unto him whither we shall go. And who knoweth but the Lord will carry us forth into a land which is choice above all the earth? And if it so be, let us be faithful unto the Lord, that we may receive it for our inheritance."

This is the third time in this verse where Jared asks his brother to inquire of the Lord. They knew the importance of doing what the Lord wanted them to do, so they asked him over and over what to do. I love how Jared had such faith that the Lord may bless them with a choice land. He knew, however, that it was dependent upon their faithfulness and hoped to remain worthy of such a blessed land. Jared's request was granted and these people were driven out to a much better land because of their reliance on the Lord.
