My
attention in these two chapters was drawn to the way that Nephi exercised his
authority that had been given to him from God.
God told him that whatsoever he said would be done. Yet despite this power and authority, it can
be argued that Nephi never used it.
Instead, Nephi pled with the Lord in prayer for those things that he
felt to be right, and reasoned with the Lord (particularly in ending the
famine). But even though he had been
given this great power, he was extraordinarily circumspect in how he used
it. There is guidance there for each of
us in our stewardships as well.
