1 Nephi 3&4 Story Telling

It's funny how Nephi narrates these chapters interjecting his run in with Zoram. I always wonder how much of a choice Zoram had in the matter. I hope Laman and Lemuel didn't see 1 Nephi 4:31. I'm pretty sure they would have scoffed at the "large in stature" comment. The perks of getting to write your own narrative.

But behold I said unto them:
As the Lord liveth, and 

as we live, we will not go
down unto our father in the 

wilderness until we have
accomplished the thing
which the Lord hath commanded us.

1 Nephi 3:15 

That scripture always reminds me of Isaiah 55:10-11. God's purposes will be fulfilled. His word will go forth and "not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please."  

 For as the arain cometh
down, and the snow 

from heaven, and returneth
not thither, but watereth the 

earth, and maketh it bring
forth and bud, that it may 

give seed to the sower, and 

bread to the eater: So shall my 

word be that goeth forth 

out of my mouth: it shall

not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that
which I please, and it shall prosper
in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11
