"That he might show forth his power"

1. 1 Ne. 18: 11
     11 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel did take me and bind me with cords, and they did treat me with much harshness; nevertheless, the Lord did suffer it that he might show forth his power, unto the fulfilling of his word which he had spoken concerning the wicked.
2. Alma 37: 18
     18 For he promised unto them that he would preserve these things for a wise purpose in him, that he might show forth his power unto future generations.
