Better Days Ahead

2 Nephi 14:2 (Compare Isaiah 4) "In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious; the fruit of the earth excellent and comely to them that are escaped of Israel." (Compare Isaiah 4)

At the end of a tiring day, these words from Isaiah are refreshing.

Isaiah's Prophecies

2 Nephi 13:5 (Compare Isaiah 3) "And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child shall behave himself proudly agains the ancient, and the base against the honorable." (See Isaiah 3)

We live in an era of disrespect for eternal laws of God and time-honored laws of man.

Walk in the Light

2 Nephi 12:5 (Compare Isaiah 2) ". . come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord." 

Why choose to walk in darkness when we can walk in the light of Christ all the time?

My Soul Delighteth

2 Nephi 11:5 "And also my soul delighteth in the covenants of the Lord which he hath made to our fathers; yea, my soul delighteth in his grace, and in his justice, and power, and mercy in the great and eternal plan of deliverance from death."

Our task is to participate fully in covenants the Lord has made to our fathers.

Let Us Remember Him

2 Nephi 10:20 ". . let us remember him, and lay aside our sins, and not hang down our heads, . ."

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we have reason to move forward with our heads up.

The Keeper of the Gate

2 Nephi 9:41 "O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for he Lord God is his name."

Amen.

Jesus Can Comfort Us

2 Nephi 8:12 "I (Jesus Christ) am he; yea, I am he that comforteth you."

Jesus is always near. We don't need to go it alone. We just need to ask. He'll be there.
