Obedience

What is Obey, or Obedience?

What is the true meaning of Obedience?

The True meaning of obedience is in the key of Faith. Obedience is actually about trust, believing, and staying honest. In relationships to obey means respecting the other person and having trust in the relationship. The respect and trust is what being faithful is truly about. Respecting enough to be honest, kind, and dedicated from your heart. That, is true fidelity, meaning support, devotion, and faithfulness. Faith is believing and trusting, which puts it all hand in hand. 

What does a call to Obey really mean?

When we are asked to obey it is all about the respect with trust to do what in your heart is honest, believing, and supportive, in other words what you feel would honor and be in right action. In this way, you are faithful, obedient, and believe. It should feel positive not dutiful, because it is coming from the heart and not the will. It is all about honest intentions, staying respectful, and building trust and faith.

How does the true meaning of "Obey" apply...

So what should you do when asked to obey or be obedient? In any situation there may be an exception at times, but see that deviations are forgiven through honesty, and are only made in honest mistake or by following right action for that situation. No one is perfect, and that is not what it is about. Whether in scriptures or in law see that you remember that in law it is about respect and safety, and that in scripture try applying the word "faith" or "trust" or "believe" in place of the word obey. You may find new meaning in what you are reading and applying in your life situations.

Brightest Blessings.
