March 31, 2015, I attended the devotional given by Michael Brown. His topic was about a "heart check-up" of a spiritual nature. He asked several questions for his audience' consideration: "Is my heart soft?"; "Is my heart pure?"; "Do I have a grateful heart?"; "Do I have an obedient heart?"; and finally "Are we of one heart?" This was a very insightful talk.
One thing I learned which ties to career exploration is something he mentioned about covenants. He said that the best way to prepare for you future, even your temporal future (which is the point of career exploration), is to live by the covenants you made with God. He quoted what my Book of Mormon professor Dr. Hull calls the "core covenant" of the Book of Mormon, which reads: "Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper in the land." (2 Nephi 4:4). While this may not guarantee economic success, it is an important reminder that God does look after those who keep their covenants. God is truly in control of my future, and I believe that by keeping my covenants he will help steer me on the right career path.
