1 Nephi 16:29

and there was also written upon them a new writing, which was plain to be read,

which did give us understanding concerning the ways of the Lord;

and it was written and changed from time to time,

according to the faith and diligence which we gave unto it.

And thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about great things.

1 Nephi 17:31

And it came to pass that according to his word he did destroy them;

and according to his word he did lead them;

and according to his word he did do all things for them;

and there was not any thing done save it were by his word.

1 Nephi 18:20

and there was nothing save it were the power of God,

which threatened them with destruction,

could soften their hearts;

wherefore, when they saw that

they were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea

they repented of the thing which they had done,

insomuch that they loosed me.

1 Nephi 18:21

And it came to pass after they had loosed me,

behold, I took the compass, and it did work whither I desired it.

And it came to pass that I prayed unto the Lord;

and after I had prayed

the winds did cease, and the storm did cease, and there was a great calm.
