Luke 4:14–32 Luke 5:1–11, 27–28 6:12–16
I did not read through these scriptures all the way, so I cannot comment extensively on them, but here is what I was impressed with during the lesson:
The teacher asked us what the word "straightway" means to us. The disciples, soon to become apostles, literally left their fishing nets immediately and followed the Savior, not just that day, but for a long and busy time.
I have loved listening to President Monson's stories about people he has helped and healed. It seems that he is a good example of doing thing "straightway" when he is prompted. This takes practice. It takes practice to know what you think is a good idea and what the Spirit is telling you to go and do NOW. I suppose either one is a good thing. I know that doing right away what the Spirit prompts leads to happiness on my end and for someone else. Having courage to do things of the Spirit straightway, is a gift for some, I think. It means a great deal of unselfishness, having a lot of faith, and what tops it off is having the humility to not publish what you've done.
