What Is the Spirit Telling You?

This week for me could be summed up in one word: promptings.
On Sunday, I received a prompting.
On Monday, I received a prompting.
On Tuesday, a prompting.
On Wednesday, another prompting.
On Thursday, more promptings.
Friday? Again.
Saturday? Keep 'em comin'.

In other words, we can all receive daily promptings, both big and small.

This is what Thomas S. Monson had to say about promptings from the Spirit:
     "At times, the answers to our questions and the responses to our
     daily prayers come to us through silent promptings of the Spirit.
     As William Cowper wrote:
         'God moves in a mysterious way
         His wonders to perform;
         He plants His footsteps in the sea
         And rides upon the storm. ...
         Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
         But trust him for his grace;
         Behind a frowning providence
         He hides a smiling face.'
     "We watch. We wait. We listen for that still, small voice. When it
     speaks, wise men and women obey. We do not postpone the
     promptings of the Spirit. ...
     "Never, never, never postpone a prompting."

We need to listen for the promptings of the Spirit. We need to "always have His Spirit...with [us]" (Moroni 4:3; see also Moroni 5:2) so that we can better recognize those promptings.

Listen, and then take action.
