“Go and Do”

D. Kelly Ogden, Andrew C. Skinner

Having already worked things out with the Lord, Nephi responded positively to the Lord’s command. In one of the most inspiring outpourings of faith in all of scripture, Nephi assured his father that he would go and do the things the Lord had commanded because he knew that the Lord never gives a command without providing some way to fulfill it. A believing attitude is a characteristic of every great soul. “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).
