Story about sportsman.... flying with more weight than possible... the plane stalled and crashed. Ground effect: air is compressed.
Like the two sportsman, we believe that there must be an easier way, something that will accomodate us. Only STRICT obedience brings blessings, and disobedience is dangerous. Safety lies in keeping the commandments. We disobey because 1 it does not apply 2 it is not important, or 3 it is too difficult.
Story of Jeraboam... disobedience, mixture of good and evil.. Partial or selective compliance with god's laws fails to bring blessings.
Washing in the Jordan river to heal. Nahmen... no matter what prophet asks, obedience will bring blessings. No matter how trivial or unimportant we think they are.
Lehi... obedience brings peace.
JS taking 116 pages... Martin Harris. Lord said no. Plates taken from JS. When the lord commands, do it. This should be our rule as well. The lord's response is sure: obedience = eternal life. He honors those who serve him.
Obedience gives us confidence, potential to be like savior and return to gods presence.
