"Small means.."

I have always been impressed with how things in life can fall upon timing, and how such mall circumstance can create either the most blessed or dreaded consequences. As I was reading the other night in the Book of Mormon I came upon a scripture in 1 Nephi 16: 29, and just the last part of it took on a whole different meaning to me.
"...by small means the Lord can bring about great things". I was thinking about this and not only can the Lord bring about great things, but if we make those poor choice in our lives out of greed, pride, and any other selfish matter we will bring upon ourselves horrible things. Nephi was guided to a spot in the mountains to kill food for his family by a small act of faith. That is the secret, small acts of faith in the Savior Jesus Christ, and Heavenly Father.
We will change our own lives and do great things if we only make the small correct decisions, and exercise small amounts of Faith. We are the only ones in control of our life, and it does not matter what actions other people might do towards us. They can not change our lives or our alter our eternal salvation.
I have learned that God can only work those small miracles if we are willing to put ourselves in those correct situations and make the correct decision. Faith, hope, and charity will take us far in this life and help us to become who we want to be. Then will we witness those "great things" in our life happen one at a time.
