Today's Favorite Verse: 2 Nephi 27:7-8, 21
"And behold the book shall be sealed; and in the book shall be a revelation from God, from the beginning of the world to the ending thereof.
Wherefore, because of the things which are sealed up, the things which are sealed shall not be delivered in the day of the wickedness and abominations of the people. Wherefore the book shall be kept from them.
Touch not the things which are sealed, for I will bring them forth in mine own due time; for I will show unto the children of men that I am able to do mine own work."

How I wish it would be in my day that the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon comes forth. All I can do is live worthy to receive it, love, appreciate, and study what we already have.

"Elder Neal A. Maxwell (1926–2004) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke of scriptures yet to be revealed, especially those from the Book of Mormon: “Many more scriptural writings will yet come to us, including those of Enoch (see D&C 107:57), all of the writings of the Apostle John (see Ether 4:16), the records of the lost tribes of Israel (see 2 Nephi 29:13), and the approximately two-thirds of the Book of Mormon plates that were sealed: ‘And the day cometh that the words of the book which were sealed shall be read upon the house tops; and they shall be read by the power of Christ; and all things shall be revealed unto the children of men which ever have been among the children of men, and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth’ (2 Nephi 27:11). Today we carry convenient quadruple combinations of the scriptures, but one day, since more scriptures are coming, we may need to pull little red wagons brimful with books” (A Wonderful Flood of Light [1990], 18)."
(Book of Mormon Student Manual, Chapter 12: 2 Nephi 25-27)

The little red wagon won't be needed as Elder Maxwell once envisioned. How grateful I am for the "radio in the pocket" David O. McKay foresaw, where I can carry around the scriptures with room enough for more.

“We should improve the means of communication until with radio in our pockets we may communicate with friends and loved ones from any point at any given moment.”
