Getting ready for work this morning, I realized I needed something from the laundry room downstairs. In a hurry, I figured I'd just run the down the stairs and not bother turning on the light above. Instantaneously I had a number of thoughts, or as my dear friend Amber used to call it, "a ball of knowledge". My first thought was, "How hard is it to turn a light switch on? It really doesn't take more than a second." I noticed that the staircase was still quite dark. By turning on the small light fixture, I could see perfectly.
I thought about how reading scriptures daily (even one verse) and praying daily is very much like taking the time to turn on the light. The time it takes to flip a light switch is infinitesimal and yet the results are far reaching. The spiritual light that comes in to our daily lives from reaching out and obeying these commandments is incalculable.
Alma 37:6 ...By small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
