Dancing to God’s Rap (1 Nephi 12:17-18)

These verses describe a great gulf which divides the Tree of Life from the great and spacious building.

I think it’s interesting that this gulf represents the word of God and that is what separates the people who want to go to the Tree of Life from those who choose to go to the great and spacious building. This is not a division that is imposed or forced on people. God speaks His word. Those who hear and love it go one way. Those who refuse to hear, or who hate it, go another.

Like rap music. Those who like it congregate to it, collect around it, dance to it. Those that hate it find it grates on their nerves. They can’t get far enough away from it. They are only within listening range until they can figure out how to silence it or get away.

I want to always dance to God’s rap.
