“When obedience
becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block,
it becomes a building block” –James E. Faust
Reflection:
For many of us
including me sometimes tend to think that obedience is a stumbling block. When in
reality it’s a building block. We tend to see that obeying is hard to do and
that we might fail to do it that’s why we see it as a stumbling block. If we
really paid attention to the reward that we earn from being obedient, being
obedient would be our number one goal. Yeah we might think that we try to obey
we might fail but we need to learn from our mistakes and the next time we try
we know what not to do and you try something else. A professional baseball
player didn't learn to hit a ball with his first swing it needs practice and learning from past mistakes to become greater at something. Sometimes you won’t
always earn a reward as an object but you can feel great about yourself when
you obey. The simple feeling of feeling good can be enough to be your reward
for being obedient. We have many authorities like parents and teachers and
officers but the one person we should always try to obedient to is God. His rewards
are not always what you want but you will realize He gives you what you deserve
which is the best. It might seem hard but we need to persist until we succeed. Choose
the right in everything you do and don’t forget that obedience is needed
everywhere you go.
