Jacob says that before teaching the people, he “[had] first obtained [his] errand from the Lord.” What do you think he meant by that? Are all our “errands from the Lord” obtained through formal callings? What other errands might we have, and how do we obtain those errands?
If there is any difference, how can you know the difference between choosing to do something because it is an errand from the Lord, and choosing to do something merely because you enjoy it, or find it profitable or entertaining?
Would it make any difference in how you went about your daily activities if you recognized those activities as contributing to your errand from the Lord?
