When I have a question, why do I wait to ask God as a last resort? What can happen when I listen to all the other voices in the world? See what happened to Laman and Lemuel, the Zoramites, and King Noah when they listened to people instead of seeking answers from God.

King Noah listening to his priests – Mosiah 17:11-12
