The Power of ObedienceObedience is a surprisingly difficult trait to master. Someone once said, "We would have no need of leaders if they led us where we would have led ourselves." Therefore, almost by definition, some of the things we will be asked to do as disciples will not make sense to us--they won't be what we would have chosen to do. Further, obedience needs to be so central to our character that we use it reflexively. If we wait until we completely understand a commandment or accept a principle, the test may already be past. It is important to realize how much your Father in Heaven treasures obedience. You may not be able to sing well, or throw a football far, or win a debate, but you can be obedient. The things the world admires are often unimportant to God, but He has great respect for the person who chooses to be obedient.InstructionsSpend 1 hour searching the Book of Mormon for scriptures that teach principles about obedience.
