How often do we decide that a particular rule or law doesn’t apply to us? When we drive faster than the speed limit or leave our phones on when we’re on a plane or in a theater, we are really saying, “That law doesn’t apply to me.” To whom are you willing to be obedient? We are allergic to the very word. It seems we are obedient only to our own desires. No wonder we have such a hard time surrendering in obedience to the will of God. The word obedience comes
from the Latin word obedire, which means “to listen deeply.” By listening deeply we can see the wisdom of God’s way.
