Today I am in 2 Nephi chapter 6. Jacob is recounting scriptures to his people that will bring their souls to Christ. One line that really hit me is in verse 7, "for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me".
Life at times feels like we go from one wait to another. We wait for our house to get built, for our house to sell. We wait for illness to become health. We wait for children to simmer down and be willing to talk. We wait for my second degree to be finished.
But there is a lot of work that should be happening in all this waiting. Waiting isn't idle- it's a time for incredible growth, especially as we trust in God.
Here are some other notes from this chapter:
- The Lord will be merciful to us in His own way. He often doesn't take away the very suffering that refines us, even though we pray that He will take it away. He instead strengthens us to bear it.
- There will come a day when all people will know God for who He is. Whether they believe in Him will be a choice, but all will know Him for who He is.
- God is on my side, so nothing else on earth can prevent Him from delivering me!
