When Jesus made sure the multitude of Nephites received the sacrament, their reaction is explained in the scriptures. There is something we can learn from the reaction of the multitude to their opportunity to take the sacrament, and how they felt about it:
"Now, when the multitude had all eaten and drunk, behold, they were filled with the Spirit; and they did cry out with one voice, and gave glory to Jesus, whom they both saw and heard." (3 Nephi 20:9)
I read this and I wondered when the last time was that I could say that I was moved enough with the spirit that I wanted to "cry out...and give glory to Jesus". This is an area, preparing for the Sabbath and the sacrament, that I need to do better in. There is much that I can do to be more prepared and open to the spirit, and sometimes I think it becomes too "routine" in my mind, if I'm not specifically thinking about what I'm doing there.
Something to definitely work on.
