Mosiah 5

For Mosiah 4, I spoke about getting to know God. In Mosiah 5:13, it reads:

For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart?

How can you know the master you haven't served? How do you know if he's good or keeps his words, or treats you well? How do you know him if you haven't served him? If you haven't been obedient? Many of you, I'm sure, have heard of Matthew 6:24:

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

 How can you know God if you have never served him? He's a much better person to follow. He wants what is best for us. He will guide us to Eternal life. He wants us to be the best we can be. When we follow Him, we are guided to be the best individual through work.
