Small and Simple Things

Small and Simple Things

Alma 37:6

6Now ye may suppose that this is ^afoolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by ^bsmall and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.

I have found that while the small and simple things can be easy in and of themselves, putting them to use to do great things can be very difficult. For example, playing a note on a piano might be considered small, simple, and easy. However, while playing Bach like a concert pianist is still composed of small and simple things, many would consider it quite a challenge.

Great things can be difficult to do.

It appears that by mastering small and simple things, executing them with more speed, accuracy, and confidence, great things can take shape.
