My mother recommended a really good scripture this week, D&C 50:24, "That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in a God, receiveth more light; and that light growth brighter and brighter until the perfect day."
I really enjoyed this scripture as it is not only applicable to spiritual light. The same works for temporal things. If we continue diligently in whatever we are studying, using whatever knowledge we already have, the Lord will give us increase. Knowledge and intelligence is godly, and temporal knowledge is part of that, though I feel that sometimes we forget that. He will help us with our desires to know, just as He helped Joseph Smith.
Light is everywhere, and it is always possible for us to gain more. We can never fully understand anything as mortals, and I actually consider this a blessing. There is always something new to learn and always something for the Lord to reveal to us. We are curious and driven to learn by nature, we are created to find light, and I think that's amazing.
