2 Nephi 2: 1-10   Father Lehi now turns his attention to his son Jacob - his first=born in the day of his tribulation in the wilderness. What an interesting way to acknowledge one's son, yet it does give us more evidence as to how difficult these days were. But, despite the difficulties and the sorrow that Jacob suffered, none of it was in vain. In fact, quite the opposite. This week we learn a little deeper the characteristics of God - His mercy and that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever and how these characteristics bless our lives to the degree that our afflictions can also be for our gain.
