1 nephi 17:1 - 16
what impressed you about nephi's response to the commandment given to him by the Lord?
--> it has always impressed me that after the Lord gave the commandment to build the ship, nephi didn't question at all. the first thing he asked was where to go to get the proper materials to make the rools. he didn't even expect the Lord to provide the tools themselves, he understood that the commandments of the Lord take work and effort on our part. nephi is so faithful. he has trained himself to follow the commandments of the Lord 100%.
i love 17:3 because it is proof of the promised blessing given in 3:7. observe:
1 nephi 3:7:
"...i will go and do the things that the Lord hath commanded, for i know that the Lord giveth no commandment unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
1 nephi 17:3:
"...if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore he did provide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness."
