1 Nephi 9   In Chapter 9 Nephi takes a moment to let us in on an act of faith that he is currently experiencing. He was commanded to do something and he wasn't quite sure why, but he knew that it was "a wise purpose in him, which purpose I know not." We can gain strength from Nephi's example and testimony for when we are asked to obey commandments we don't fully understand or receive personal revelation to act, yet we don't understand why. We can sometimes become impatient, waiting for the Lord's "wise purpose" to be made known to us, to manifest in some magnificent way, only to become dissappointed in our lack of clarity. Nephi's testimony of God's characteristics of "knowing all things from the beginning," that He "prepareth a way to accomplish all of his works among the children of men," and that He has "all power to fulfill all of His words" can put our fears to rest. The Lord does not work in deficits and everything will be for our good. Promise!
