Sometimes it is just that simple. We don’t have to always understand, we just need to obey. I have told that to my children many times and left it at that, because they need to learn to obey without having to fully understand why. But on some occasions, I would tell them a story or give an example of why it is important to obey. Think about the Ten Commandments, they clearly tell us not to have sex before marriage and only have sex with your spouse. If we as a people would have obeyed that from the beginning, then we would not have any of those horrible diseases floating around. So then it is easy to say that obedience is not there to give us a hard time, but to protect us from things that are lurking to destroy us.
