Instincts

Reading scripture can develop comparative instincts. Such instincts cause increased review, or even applified study of scripture power and purpose.  You can use comparative practice in reading the first part of the Book of Ether in the Book of Mormon, how? by finding interesting facts about the brother of Jared and comparing events or things about Jesus Christ.  eg. favored, 1:34; gather flocks, sheep, seed, 1:40-43; visited Lord in a cloud, 2:4-5.
