New Goal: by the end of the year have at least one verse from every chapter of the Book of Mormon memorized. So I won't be memorizing a new scripture everyday anymore, I'm going to take breaks to solidify in my mind the scriptures that I want to always remember. I'll be working on memorizing everyday, but I'll have a lot of review days.
the phrase "the master" is significant because I think that he is referring to Christ directly rather than saying something like "a master." Kind of goes along with John 17:3 with the idea that we get to know him as we serve Him and our thoughts and intents become like His. I mean I obviously don't need to serve an evil master to know that he's evil; so I don't really think that this is just a universal truth he's trying to preach. I think he's preaching how to know Christ.
I respectfully disagree with the idea that "the master" referred to in this scripture needs to be Christ because you can also learn to know "the masters" of evil by serving those masters . . . with altogether opposing consequences than the consequences that are enjoyed by serving Christ. Still, those who follow "the masters" of evil will surely learn to know the real nature of those masters and what service to them has wrought in their lives just as those who follow Christ will learn to know Christ and what service to Him means "after all that we can do."
