1 Nephi 17:31

And it came to pass that according to his word, he did destroy them; and according to his word, he did lead them; and according to his word, he did do all things for them; and there was not any thing done, save it were by his word.

According to his word, he destroyed them. According to his word, he led them. According to his word, he did everything for them. Everything was done by his word.

“God did everything by his word. He destroyed some according to his word. He led others according to his word. Nothing happened except by his word.”
