Why 2 records??? 1 Nephi 9:56.

1 Nephi 6,9Sometimes when we are asked to be obedient, we do not know why, except the Lord has commanded. Nephi followed instructions even though he didnt fully understand the wise purpose. His obedience resulted in blessings to mankind all over the world(Who Will Forfeit the Harvest? Ensign, Nov. 1978,51).1 Nephi 6,9

Without the knowledge of all things God would not be able to save any portion of his creatures; for it is by reason of the knowledge which he has of all things, from the beginning to the end, that enables him to give that understanding to his creatures by which they are made partakers of eternal life; and if it were not for the idea existing in the minds of men that God had all knowledge it would be impossible for them to exercise faith in him (Joseph Smith, comp., Lectures on Faith [1985], 5152).1 Nephi 6,9

When have you been obedient to the Lord or followed a particular impression without completely understanding the reasons?Why is it helpful to know that the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning? How can this doctrine influence the way you live?
