The most important exploration ever undertaken

 

The Joseph Smith expedition -

Joseph Smith led an expedition he'd like you to join him on. 

He said

"The things of God are of deep import; and time, and experience, and careful and ponderous and solemn thoughts can only find them out. Thy mind, O man! if thou wilt lead a soul [let's say your own] unto salvation, must stretch as high as the utmost heavens, and search into and contemplate the darkest abyss, and the broad expanse of eternity-thou must commune with God. How much more dignified and noble are the thoughts of God, than the vain imaginations of the human heart! None but fools will trifle with the souls of men. (DHC 3: 295.)"

You're The Image of God - Jordan Peterson (11:12) is probably the best modern day articulation I know of regarding this principal. You must explore deep and high - it's the way we change.

Questions from God

 Questions from God

"And we will prove them herewith to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them." (RE Abraham 6:2)

Everything that happens to you is, in some form, a question from God. What you do in that moment is your answer. But, he’s not observing so that He’ll know what you'll do, he already knows. He’s hoping you’ll notice the question and then look at your response to see how you answered it.

To the men of Athens on Mars' hill Paul says - "…the times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by him whom he has ordained…"(RE Acts 10:14)

I believe that could be said again in our day.

Careful how you answer, you are the temple He comes to.
