2 Nephi 7:3 -- On Clothing the Heavens

"I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
2 Nephi 7:3


I was thinking about what the heavens would look like without that clothing of blackness. It makes me think about the veil, and how strange/amazing it would be to have what we think of as the blackness of space just peeled away to see... something else. But whether the words have any literal meaning, or are wholly symbolic, still they are an amazing reminder of the unimaginable power of God, and how all-encompassing his plan and his creation is.

Today, let's remember that God works with the stuff of the universe and that his work, on that vast scale, is all designed for our happiness. :) There is always hope in turning to him.
