Zoram, The Book of Mormon

We don't know the names of every individual who left with Lehi and company, the group which eventually made their way to the Western Hemisphere. There was Lehi, his wife and their sons and daughters, along with Ishmael and his sons and daughters. By the time their ship sailed, the two families had done some blending, and the first of the next generation had already been born..
And there was also Zoram. He is not a person about which much is known. The scripture records that he had been a servant in the house of Laban, and that he was obliged to make an instant choice about his future. The choice he made was to join a group of people he did not know, in a journey and future none of them knew much about. This choice was made as a large young man (Nephi) kept him from escaping, but promised that he would be numbered with Lehi's family and treated as a free man. Something about this promise rang true to Zoram, and he took an oath on the spot. Nephi records that any concerns over Zoram (whom he did not know) vanished when he made this oath to "sign on".
The remainder of Zoram's life is not recorded. It was doubtless filled with hard work, but probably also a feeling of helping start something that would last a long time. Years later, when Lehi nears the end of his life and blesses all the people who had been under his leadership, Zoram is still there. Lehi, perhaps showing his age, refers to Zoram as "the servant of Laban", a status Zoram had left behind many years before. In any case, Zoram and his descendents receive Lehi's blessing and are numbered with Nephi's (that is, the worshipers of the Lord) people.
Making good decisions about both large and small things is undeniably important to happiness in life. Decisions we must make on the spot are usually about small things, and probably are a bit less successful than those that we make after long consideration. Even so, we should be prepared to make decisions quickly when circumstances demand. The scriptures give us examples of both kinds of decision-making, and both can be helped by inspireation.
