There are laws that govern all things. When a law is given,
there is usually a blessing for compliance as well as a punishment for non-compliance.
Obedience is the law that is used to introduce us to new things and to help
us learn wisdom in a controlled and hopefully a safe environment. Obedience
is usually started in the home with loving parents. If you know of the law or
not, it does not matter the rules that govern the law still exist. Doing the
things that fulfil the laws that exist is obedience. In all sports there are
rules that help avoid confusion and help protect players. Most sports players
do not know all the rules before they start playing a sport. They just go and
try it to see if they can do what others are doing and they soon find out that
they are hurting or are hurt before they can ever perfect the game. I have seen
many players lose the chance to finish their season just because of a weekend
football game or a fun garage pick-up basketball game. Learn to be Obedient
and you will be able to be good enough to make your own rules and laws someday
by being the best at the game.
I taught a student a drill to build his hand eye concentration
after doing what I told him everyday, he mastered that drill and then was able
to add a twist to the drill that was even harder to perfect but challenged even
the author of the original drill.
