In verse 29 we learn that sometimes by small means the Lord brings about great things. The liahona was a small thing which led Lehi’s family through the wilderness to the Promised Land. John the Baptist was one person who singlehandedly pointed many on the right path to salvation through Jesus Christ. The entire world was saved by someone born as a single little baby who slept in a manger. The fullness of the gospel was restored through a simple 14-year old boy. The equation can be represented like this: small means + the Lord = great things. What can the Lord do through you?
