 Another thing we should remember about obedience. God isn't only asking us just to obey Him. He's asking us to trust Him enough to obey Him. We have to trust that He has good reasons to ask for our obedience. In the process of trusting and obeying, God sometimes makes us change our thinking about the world, about ourselves, even about Him. Take the story of Gideon, for example. For him, being obedient meant going against good sense.
