Usually the Lord gives us the overall objectives to be accomplished and some guidelines to follow, but he expects us to work out most of the details. Look at the objective, check the guidelines, and prayerfully ask--without having to be commanded in all things. Sometimes, the Lord hopefully waits on His children to act on their own and when they do not, they lost the greater prize, and the Lord will either drop the entire matter and let them suffer the consequences or else He will have to spell it out in greater detail. Usually, I fear, the more He has to spell it out, the smaller is our reward
President Benson, April 1965
