What do we learn about revelation in Nephi’s experience of building a ship?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Most frequently, revelation comes in small increments over time and is granted according to our desire, worthiness, and preparation. … [Nephi] did not learn how to build a ship of curious workmanship all at one time; rather, Nephi was shown by the Lord ‘from time to time after what manner [he] should work the timbers of the ship’ (1 Nephi 18:1)” (Bednar, “Spirit of Revelation,” 88).
