Book of Mormon Haiku

1st Nephi Chapter 2

Lowliness of heart

God, diligently sought for

Nephi murmured not

1 Nephi 2 - Lehi takes his family into the wilderness by the Red Sea; They leave their property; Lehi offers a sacrifice to the Lord and teaches his sons to keep the commandments; Laman and Lemuel murmur against their father; Nephi is obedient and prays in faith; the Lord speaks to him, and he is chosen to rule over his brethren.

How we view ourselves and our circumstances is inexorably tied to our understanding of and our faith in the Supreme Creator of all things.
