Great and Marvelous Works
1 Ne. 1:14
And it came to pass that when my
father had read and seen many great and
marvelous things, he did exclaim many things unto the Lord; such as;
Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God Almighty! Thy throne is
high in the heavens, and they power and goodness, and mercy are over
all the inhabitants of the earth, and, because thou art merciful,
thou wilt not suffer those who com unto thee that they shall perish!
What
After Lehi's
vision , he exclaimed many things. Praising God's marvelous works,
His throne, power and goodness and mercy.
Why
Lehi was full of
praise for the Lord God and for His mercy upon all those who repent
and for his power and goodness. He affirms the existence of God
also.

Marvelous works
D&C:44
Marvelous work..unto the convincing of many of their sins...to come
unto repentance. (missionary work-changing hearts.)
3
Ne. 28:31-33 speaks of the marvelous works of the 3 Nephites.
Throne
PS 45:6 “thy throne, O God, is forever and ever . Rev. 3:21 To him
that overcometh, I will grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I
also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne
(Exaltation).
Dan 7:9...His
throne was like the fiery flame,...Thrones denotes Kings and Kingdoms
and queens too. Dan. 2:44 see
Christ
Thrones- See Dan
2:44
Marvelous Works
3 Ne 28:33 If ye
had all the scriptures which give an account of all the marvelous
works of Christ...yet would know that these things must surely come.

Power
- Matt 26:64 Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power.
By power of His
word, man came upon the earth.
- D&C 109:13 all people who shall enter the Lord's house may feel thy power.
Guide Scriptures-
Godhead. God the Father is the supreme ruler of the universe. He is
all powerful all knowing and everywhere present through His Spirit.
D&C19:103, Gen 18:14
Christ
Power Matt 26:64
Apply
D&C 121:36 The
rights of the Priesthood are connected with the powers of Heaven.
We receive the
blessings of baptism, ordinations and temple ordinances plus the many
other blessings of healing and baby blessings and setting apart
blessings. The priesthood is such a wonderful blessing to those who
will receive them.
Goodness and mercy
of God brings up a whole multitude of other blessings that we receive
from Him for which we are eternally indebted but strive to be worthy
to receive. God loves all of His children and wants to bless them.
This all results in our praising God as did Lehi when he saw this
vision.

The Priesthood Man
“Be strong and
of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the
Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
“Be thou and
example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in
spirit, in faith, in purity. ...Like a clarion call comes the word
of the Lord to you, to me, and to priesthood holders everywhere.
“Wherefore, now let every man learn his duty, and to act in the
office in which he is appointed, in all diligence.” then we will
be, as the Apostle Peter declared, even “a royal priesthood,”
united in purpose and endowed with power from on high.
