2 Nephi 16

You know, the Isaiah chapters in the Book of Mormon can be really hard to relate to sometimes. I had that problem with Chapter 16. However, there was still a portion I could relate with in verse 10:

"Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes—lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and be healed."

For us to be people who are obedient and righteous to the Lord and his prophets, we should try to open our eyes and see the world around us. See the people we interact with and see how we can help. See all the blessings we take for granted. See and enjoy the beauty of the world. We should try to hear the sounds of lovely music. Music of nature, music of the heart, music of the rhythms of life. We should try to understand that which we see and hear with our hearts. Our heart should be our interrupter. To do all this, we will be converted and healed by the Lord.
