“Pilots fly within the capacity of their aircraft. Simply stated, pilots operate within a framework. No matter how brilliant or talented they are, only by flying within this framework can pilots safely unleash the potential of an airplane. The promise of personal revelation through the Holy Ghost is awe-inspiring, much like an airplane in flight. Like airplane pilots, we need to understand the framework within which the Holy Ghost functions to provide personal revelation. When we operate within the framework, the Holy Ghost can unleash astonishing insight, direction, and comfort. Outside that framework, no matter our brilliance or talent, we can be deceived and crash and burn. The scriptures form the first element of this framework for personal revelation. Feasting on the words of Christ stimulates personal revelation. When we want to speak to God, we pray. When we want Him to speak to us, we search the scriptures.” – Elder Dale G. Renlund
