Book of Mormon Haiku - 2 Nephi 7

Is my hand shorten'd?

Come, let us stand together

Morning by morning

2 Nephi 7 - Isaiah speaks Messianically; Messiah shall have the tongue of the learned; He shall give his back to the smiters; He shall not be confounded - Compare Isaiah 50.

In our blindness and pain, we sometimes wonder where God has gone. But He has not departed from us; we have sold ourselves for our iniquity (yes, the etymology is what you think it is). Morning by morning we can exercise our power of agency to return and stand with the Mighty God of Jacob.
