2 Nephi 29:7-9 -- On Nations, Knowledge, Words, and Work

"Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?
Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.
And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and forever."
2 Nephi 29:7-9


I love this message about God's work never stopping. We so often think that we're done learning something... and whatever it is, we're probably wrong. We have so much to learn and so much to do. God proves that eternity isn't boring because he still has plenty to do, even after this planet is history apparently. :) It's really cool to think that we have time to learn so much. We still need to use our time in this life wisely though, of course, and learn to make good choices, but kind of a relief that we don't hae to try to cram all of human knowledge into our brains in our short lifespan. God can help us know what is most important for us individually. :)

Today, let's not murmur when we realize we haven't mastered something, or that God has more to say. Let's expect it, and be grateful for the eternity of interesting stuff ahead of us. :) Let's remember that God loves everyone, from all nations, and that we should be working together and lifting each other up.
