“Obedience is the great test of life.”    -Thomas S. Monson

Life is always giving you some sort of test to see how well you handle it, the way you handle the test life is giving is on you. Obedience is one of the many tests that life gives you, the way you handle obedience is on you. You either listen to what people tell you or you don’t. People always expect you to listen to what they say and do what  they tell you to do.

“Obedience…is the primary object of all sound and 

education.”  -Elizabeth Missing Sewell

What it’s trying to tell us is that you have to listen to what other people are telling you. When you listen to what they tell you well be a good person because you are obeying what they say to do. But you do not have to do but it’s something that they ask to do it.

“Obedience sums up your entire duty.”

-Hosea Ballou

When you listen to what people are telling you then you’re doing the right thing, but sometimes as teens we do not want to do everything everyone tells us because we feel like they are just telling us what to do. I believe we should listen to our parents and adults the most but when it comes to your own peers telling you what to do it is up to you.

"The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."
-Boyd K. Packer

This quote is true because in my personal experience i have had this happen to me. I can tell that when my parents make me do something and I listen to what they are telling me to do then they can trust me more but when I do not listen to them and I do not obey them then that is when they lose trust in me and then they do not let me do anything. I think in my personal experience that it is better to listen and obey then be a rebel and not obey. 

                                           

Obedience

Obedience: Compliance with an order, you are obeying

Synonyms: tameness, accordance, compliance, reverence, agreement

Examples: When your parents tell you not to do something, when they give you instructions, when they tell you what to do and how to do it, when they say stay in a certain place

                           

The Stinging of a Scorpion

Reflection:

This story was about a boy that didn't listen to his parents and choose the wrong. He decided to go on a walk in the dessert and not wear clothes shoes and he wore sandals instead. He was waking along the sand and while he was walking a scorpion came and stung him on his foot. It stung him because he didn't wear clothes shoes. If he would have listened to what his parents had told him he wouldn't have to be in the situation where  he was taken to the hospital in an emergency. This tells us that we should listen to our parents because they know what they are telling us and why they are saying it. Sometime we don't want to listen to them because we say ugh there just over protective or there just so strict with me but no its because they love us and want the best for us and we should listen to them.
