Doctrine and Covenants 58:26-33

Some of the notes that I'd learned that may remind of doing the best thing unto the Lord.
Here's part of it from Doctrine and Covenants section 58 -

26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
The message is Plain actually, that I don't need to explain it in full. God wants a wise and faithful servants. Everything is already provided and were commanded to perform some duty. It's not necessary to hear an instruction over again first before doing something. If there are thing needs to be done for goodness sake, then why not doing it waiting for a word from heaven?
27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;

It's our responsibility to do good works and be engaged in doing what's right using our own agency. Which means, when we became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ our covenants is to follow him and perform goodness. 

28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.

Actually the reward is already there once we covenanted with God. He is bound when we do whatever what He wants us to do.

29 But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.

We sometimes neglect important matters that sometimes lure us away to do good works or good choices.
