Musings From my Personal Study

Little known fact: I prefer my scripture study in the evening. Peace and quiet, plenty of time (I believe that sacrificing sleep for The Lord is certainly a worthy thing to do).

In my reading tonight, I came across a few interesting verses.
2 Nephi 1:10 "...having a knowledge of the Earth, and all men, knowing the great and marvelous works of The Lord from the creation of the world; having power given them to do all things by faith..."

Hmm. What might that mean? Have we reached that point? Or is it a work in progress?

Lehi is a boss:

2 Nephi 1:21 "...arise from the dust, my sons, and be men, and be determined in one mind and one heart, united in all things..."

I can see football coaches quoting this, and having their players think that they just made it up. Also, I can see Laman and Lemuel thinking "Is Dad calling us wusses?" Yes, Laman and Lemuel. You are wusses.

One more, just for giggles:

2 Nephi 1:30 "And now Zoram i speak unto you: Behold, thou art the servant to Laban..."

Zoram: "Oh, come on, Lehi. I haven't seen Laban since I came out here with you guys ten years ago, and you are still calling me his servant. Hey, I wonder what ever happened to Laban."

Nephi: "Uhhhh..."

Zoram: "Oh, I bet the died when Babylon captured Jerusalem"

Nephi: "Yeah, that probably is what happened, huh? (Whew!)"

Cheers!
