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 17:3

And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled.

And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God

he doth nourish them, and strengthen them,

and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing

which he has commanded them;

wherefore, he did provide means for us

while we did sojourn in the wilderness.

1 Nephi 17:17

And when my brethren saw that I was about to build a ship,

they began to murmur against me, saying:

Our brother is a fool,

for he thinketh that he can build a ship;

yea, and he also thinketh that he can cross these great waters.

1 Nephi 17:46

And ye also know that by the power of his almighty word

he can cause the earth that it shall pass away;

yea, and ye know that by his word he can cause

the rough places to be made smooth, and smooth places shall be broken up.

O, then, why is it, that ye can be so hard in your hearts?
