" . . . and now, if you believe all these things see that ye do them." (Mosiah 4:10)
How often do we say, "I know I shouldn't do this, but . . ." or "I know I should (something), but . . ."
We know we should eat better; we know we should help our neighbor; we know we shouldn't drive too fast; we know we shouldn't spend so much time on Facebook.
It's unfortunate when we make mistakes when we don't know any better. But most of the time we know what we should be doing and what we should avoid doing, and we consciously decide to go against a prompting and do it anyway.
I once saw a quote that says, "If we know what we know, then why do we do what we do?"
Good question.
