Elder Bruce A. Carlson of the Seventy:
“At times we may rationalize that the Lord will understand
our disobedience because our special circumstances make adherence (obedience)
to His laws difficult, embarrassing, or even painful. However, faithful
obedience, regardless of the apparent size of the task, will bring the Lord’s
guidance, assistance, and peace” (“When the Lord Commands,” Ensign, May 2010, 39).
