Many Revelations Daily

Helaman 11:23 And in the seventy and ninth year there began to be much strife. But it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi, and many of their brethren who knew concerning the true points of doctrine, having many revelations daily, therefore they did preach unto the people, insomuch that they did put an end to their strife in that same year.

At first, it struck me as odd that Lehi and Nephi had "many revelations daily," but perhaps it's not quite as extreme as it sounds. We who have been baptized and have received the gift of the Holy Ghost can have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, who can grant us inspiration, if not revelation, on a regular, if not constant basis. If we listen carefully for the voice of the Spirit, getting "many revelations daily" isn't that much of a stretch. We can receive countless messages from God each day, if we listen for them, and apparently, Nephi and Lehi did.

It's remarkable that Nephi and Lehi had many revelations daily, and it's even more remarkable that we can, too.
