Scripture Power!
This morning I was reading 1 Nephi 17 and this chapter never ceases to amaze me. Nephi is commanded to build a ship and his brothers think he is crazy, but Nephi does not back down from what the Lord has asked him to do. In verse 51, Nephi says, "And now, if the Lord has such great power, and has wrought so many miracles among the children of men, how is it that he cannot instruct me, that I should build a ship?" In the midst of so much persecution, Nephi does not forget the power of God and he puts full trust and faith in what the Lord has asked him to do! Nephi is an amazing example to me of faith and courage. I know that he witnessed many miracles and received many blessings because he did not doubt the power of God. I am so grateful for the power of God that manifests itself in my life! I know that Jesus Christ lives and that the Book of Mormon testifies of Him.

Great testimony. :) I think we can liken Nephi's ship to many things in our life - for example, with the power of God, "how is it that I cannot write this paper?" Very encouraging scripture! Thanks for sharing. :)
