"The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet; they break forth into singing.
Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and also the cedars of Lebanon, saying: Since thou art laid down no feller is come up against us."
2 Nephi 24:7-8
I like the idea of rest, quiet, and singing--the rejoicing of being able to rest from sorrow, fear, and bondage (verse 3). I also love that the trees are rejoicing. This chapter is about the Millenium and Satan being bound and unable to affect anyone or anything, and it sounds like it will make all the difference. It makes me wonder if we realize how much we are actually influenced by Satan in our lives, and how much Christ can help us find peace and joy with his influence to balance and center us again.
Today, let's work with God to find rest from the sorrow and fear in our lives, and with his help, invite more peace and joy into our lives. And let's look forward with hope to a day when that rest and peace can be made permanent.
