📌 Scenario for Reflection
Lisa, a warehouse supervisor, is eager to finish work quickly so she can meet friends at a new bowling alley. Instead of following her supervisor’s instructions, she places stock items on the shelf without scanning them first, planning to do it later. However, she gets distracted and forgets the scanning step entirely. When orders start coming in, the system shows missing inventory, causing delays and frustration.
💡 Lesson
Instead of looking for shortcuts, complaining, or bypassing instructions, choose to respectfully follow directions—because God calls us to honor authority. Obedience to leadership brings order, efficiency, and peace.
Why do you think God calls us to honor authority?
Obedience leads to His perfect will being fulfilled
Good intentions can still cause disorder
Following leadership brings order and peace
Partial obedience is still disobedience
💬 Discussion Question for Comments:
How can disregarding authority or failing to follow instructions create unnecessary stress or hinder spiritual growth?
Disregarding authority shows a prideful attitude which can create obstacles that hinder spiritual growth.
Learning your place can be painful if you feel displaced or learning what your place is. God establishes order and it's passed down for us to adhere to. Not my will but thy will be done means taking your feelings and opinion out it and walking in God's will whereever you are serving.
