Fear can make a moth seem the size of a bull elephant.

Fear can make a moth seem the size of a bull elephant.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear has the power to distort our perception of reality. When we are afraid, even the smallest or trivial things can appear intimidating and overwhelming, much like a tiny moth being perceived as a massive elephant. It highlights how fear can amplify our anxieties and make us perceive situations or obstacles as far more significant and insurmountable than they truly are. Consequently, it serves as a reminder to confront and overcome our fears in order to clearer see and navigate the challenges that lie before us.

In reading the scriptures of truth, we often put wrong constructions upon them, and apply them improperly; and I apprehend it has often been the case in relation to this portion, particularly that part in relation to man's seeking out many inventions.
