Be Faithful to Him

While in the MTC I decided I would read the Book of Mormon again. In doing so I found one of my favorite scriptures that comes to mind quite frequently. Nephi and his family are in the wilderness because they listened to their father Lehi, who is a prophet whom the Lord told to leave Jerusalem because it was going to be destroyed. While in the wilderness Nephi's brothers Laman and Lemuel get angry with him because he is on his fathers side. In one of Nephi's "rebukings" he tells his brothers,

"Yeah, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do ALL things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him." (1 Nephi 7:12)

  I love Nephi's response. He is put in so many situations where he could choose to be angry like Laman and Lemuel but he CHOOSES to have faith. Life (and being on a mission) gives you many situations where you can be angry, sad, frustrated, etc. But when you choose to look at it in a bigger picture and realize what Nephi is saying is true.  I know if it is according to Heavenly Fathers will he WILL provide a way if we do the things he has asked us to do. Even though we may not see how it is going to work out, by putting our faith in him and taking a couple steps in the dark he will light up the path.
