2 Nephi 7 & 8
Isaiah speaking. I’ve
been to classes where these chapters were explained. I’m still learning. These chapters are difficult for me. But there are words I do understand and in
the latter days, I know there are certain things we can expect.
Chapter 7 v10-11 I find interesting – probably because I’m
witnessing it in a daughter. Isaiah asks
the question “Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of
his servant, that walketh in darkness and hath no light?” That’s a little confusing to me since if we
fear the Lord and obey the voice of his servant, how can we walk in
darkness? I have a note in the margin
that the darkness is spiritual darkness.
Then v11 answers the question. It
is he who kindles his own fire. They
make up their own rules and disbelieve the prophets, scriptures and basically
the gospel. This is still a little
confusing to me because how can you obey the servants of the Lord and make up
your own rules at the same time?
I don’t know that anything I have to write this morning
could be enlightening to anyone, as I come away having more questions than
answers. However, I know the Book of
Mormon is truth and filled with guidance. Some day I will understand the words of
Isaiah. As I’ve read these chapters
numerous times, I have to say it gets easier and some things I’ve learned about
them pop up quickly when I read them.
Maybe it is this that I’ve learned:
The more we read and ponder the scriptures, the more the language
becomes familiar and rings true. I love
my scriptures!
