 “Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy.”

                   David A. Bednar

Reflection:

     Obedience is something that is always going to be the central of everything because without it this world would be even worse. I hear a lot of complaining all the time about how this world is terrible, and yes that’s true it is terrible but with the obedience that some people have, we are okay. If there was full on disobedience in this world, it would be filled with prisons, rehabs, jails, and so much more. Being obedient is exactly what you are doing when you aren’t murdering someone or when you aren’t doing drugs that are illegal. If you think about it, if you were to disobey the laws of this world, your life would be miserable. Why? Because instead of being out there in the world doing something you love doing or at least having a family you’re inside a jail or prison. Regretting everything that you did. Obedience makes us who we are, we call kids brats when they disobey their parents, well aren’t we just as bad when we aren’t following laws, rules, or anything that is Against God. I don’t want to shame anyone because we all fall short but I just strongly think that obedience is something amazing and it keeps us happy and that we should all be united as one to obey our father in heaven. It’s hard, a lot of things are hard but obey and things will come for you. Good things.

“Obedience is the great test of life.”

             Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:

          I totally agree that obedience is a test of life. We really aren’t going to get anywhere in life with disobedience, it just leads to some of the worst things ever. I think the end of this test just shows the result of how responsible you were in life and how much you loves God. To me, I obey God because he is worth obeying. I hear a lot of people complaining about how theres so much crime and bad things going on in the world, and honestly it’s because of the lack of obedience people have to the law, and to God. If people were to obey the law, then there would be no dead people, no murders, if people were to obey God, there wouldn’t be evil, there would be peace just like everyone wants. This life is something that is temporary. Maybe I don’t agree with everything people tell me to do, but I’ll do anything that I know is right. Being obedient should not be put as a whole “What if someone orders me to do drugs?” Okay well, then don’t obey that. We want the best for our life and for our world then be obedient to the things you know are right. Be obedient to God and be obedient in life because it brings a lot of blessings. When you disobey, like for example murder, witch is against the law and against the commandments of God, whats going to happen? You go to jail. That’s not something good. Trust me there are so many good things that happen with obedience. The right obedience. Obey God.

“Obedience… Is the primary object of all sound and education.”

 Elizabeth Missing Sewell

Reflection:

     I know that is it hard to be obedient, and it’s really hard when you’re in school. I want to use the word education in this quote to bring up is school. We come to school to learn so that we can have a bright future. I’ve seen students obey and some disobey. Our main project when it comes to education is obedience. How are we going to pass a class when we are disobedient? The teacher gives you homework, you don’t do it you fail. Educations primary object is obedience because it builds up our character. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to have a bad character , I don’t want to be seen as a young lady without manners. In some cases yea, it does not matter what people think, but obedience is something that affects you in a great way. When we go to school we have to obey the teachers because that is how we get the job done. Life is not about doing what you want to do because the things we desire can be good but can be evil. Obedience should be a way of life and I’m glad that they teach us things like this in school because that’s what people need. Discipline.

Obedience

Obedience

Obedience means to cooperating with an order, request law, or someone’s admission to another’s authority. Some other words that also mean the same thing as obedience to me would be:

·       Listen

·       Do

·       Follow

Some examples of obedience would be like, when your parents tell you to stop doing something, you stop doing it. That is obedience, because you are doing exactly what your parents are telling you to do. Parents only want the best for you. Listening to anyone who has authority over you, Mom, Dad, Teachers, Family members, Cops, GOD. Listen to them, because that shows obedience, you are listening to whatever they are telling you to do, And no I am not a saying if they tell you to do something bad go and do it, but if they are asking for a favor, asking you to do something you know is not bad then do it. God loves obedience, obeying him is the best thing you could ever do. Following God, following what he says, and just him in general. That shows a lot of obedience. Why? Because we are down here on earth and sometimes as our human nature we do not want to do what other people tell us to, because we are human. But following God, listening to him, and DOING what he wants us to do that shows how obedient you are.
