Obedience

Here is an essay on obedience I thought was insightful... The two lines that jumped out at me were, "Obedience is learned through trust in those we obey" and "obedience is an exercise of faith." What gentle words, "trust" and "faith," yet the concept of obedience is mocked by so many. I wonder why? I think faithful obedience based on trust (not fear) helps us to attain that childlike attitude Jesus said in Luke 18:17 that we must have to enter His Kingdom.
