Todd led our discussion in priesthood meeting this morning and looked at the lesson from three different angles as a way to think about the lessons we can learn:
1. The nature and circumstances of the council in Heaven- Lucifer's plan was flawed and a lie (it couldn't have worked), yet 1/3 of our spiritual brothers & sisters went along with it. Are there aspects of our spirit or character that, if fed, could lead us to make wrong decisions? How do we be sure we are "starving" these aspects of our character and feeding the good aspects of it?
2. The attributes of Jehovah that drew us to the Father's plan in the pre-mortal existence & should draw us to Him in this life- He is loving, meek, lowly, perfect, a purveyor of truth. He is our advocate with the Father. Pres. Wood compared Him to an attorney that is meek and lowly! Todd pointed out the many dichotomies the Savior presents us with- He is both God & a man, He is meek but a fierce advocate of ours, He is a King and yet He is a friend to us.
3. Jehovah said to the Father "Here am I; send me."- Do we listen for the Spirit to tell us when the Father needs us to do something and then do we respond "here am I; send me"? Or, "here am I; I'll do it."
