Book of Mormon Haiku - 2 Nephi 1

Land of liberty

His great and marvelous works

Arise from the dust

2 Nephi 1 - Lehi prophesies of a land of liberty; His seed shall be scattered and smitten if they reject the Holy One of Israel; He exhorts his sons to put on the armor of righteousness.

We live now in the great land of liberty promised to those who remember their covenants and put on the whole armor of God.  But how often do we find ourselves covered in the dust of the cares of Babylon.  Awake and arise from the dust, ye noble ones!
