2 Nephi 2:24



I am amazed at the clarity of this chapter on opposition, freedom to choose, the redemption from the fall, and happiness. A short verse I haven't noticed before popped out at me, verse 24. It says,

But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.

Try to imagine knowing all things. Take some time to remember that you don't know everything, and then think of God as one who knows all things- past, present, and future, through the vast expanse of space. And remember that he has done all things HIS wisdom, not ours. Then, remember the next verse,

. . . Men are, that they might have joy.

Now remember how much God loves you and desires only your eternal joy. It's was nice to put my life in perspective remembering that short, basic verse.

  1. It took me a while to realize this, but that is why we are placed here on this earth. TO HAVE JOY!

    All the other stuff (ie. to get a body, to learn to overcome evil, to complete this test, et cetera) only serves to allow us to know joy.
