A Quick One

1 Nephi 3:1-8

1 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, returned from ^aspeaking with the Lord, to the tent of my father.

 2 And it came to pass that he spake unto me, saying: Behold I have dreamed a ^adream, in the which the Lord hath commanded me that thou and thy brethren shall ^breturn to Jerusalem.

 3 For behold, Laban hath the record of the Jews and also a^agenealogy of my forefathers, and they are ^bengraven upon plates of brass.

 4 Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me that thou and thy brothers should go unto the house of Laban, and seek the records, and bring them down hither into the wilderness.

 5 And now, behold thy brothers murmur, saying it is a hard thing which I have required of them; but behold I have not required it of them, but it is a commandment of the Lord.

 6 Therefore go, my son, and thou shalt be favored of the Lord, because thou hast ^anot ^bmurmured.

 7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I ^awill go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no ^bcommandments unto the children of men, save he shall ^cprepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.(This scripture is a Scripture Mastery verse for very good reason.  It is such a good reminder...I will go and do the things which the Lord commands.  I need to have that attitude towards every commandment.  Because Nephi is right, the Lord giveth NO commandment unless He has prepared a way to accomplish it! Some maybe harder than others, but with the Lord's help, we can accomplish all things!

 8 And it came to pass that when my father had heard these words he was exceedingly glad, for he knew that I had been blessed of the Lord.
