i do not know all things.

In Words of Mormon in the Book of Mormon, Mormon is talking about why he has compiled the different books the way he has and what he hopes will come of all his work.

He then says, "I do this for a wise purpose; for thus it whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord which is in me. And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will" (v. 7, emphasis added).

I think often times we can't see the end from the beginning; we don't know where our decisions will lead, but if we listen to the whispering of the Spirit we can be tools in God's hands and do our part in a chain of events that accomplishes his will. We can also have the confidence that we'll be where we need to be when we need to be there. And as always, that the future is bright and that God has something in mind for us.

Mormon didn't know the full impact that his work would have, but he felt like he was following the Holy Spirit and he knew that that was God's will, and that was all he wanted to do.
