Pre lesson thoughts and prep material.
The section that struck me the most was "No obedience Is Too Small or Too Great to Obey"
Activity: Have sisters write a commandment that they have a hard time obeying because they think is too small ex. drinking caffeine, have FHE, gather food storage. Now have them reflect on why the lord would issue that commandment. Ask them if this commandment would keep them out of the celestial kingdom. Probably not- but a rebellious heart would. I like to call this the Laman & Lemuel attitude.
Now have them think what commandment is to big. Your Abraham & Isaac commandment. Paying tithing, going to the temple, giving up coffee? Why are they not obeying this commandment. To hard? - Really is it to hard? The Lord will never give us a commandment that we can't do. Help them to make a ladder they can climb up, so they can achieve this commandment.
This is a lesson for sisters to really take a self reflection on themselves.
Freedom to obey (agency) is the principle that we fought for before we came to earth. Why would one rebel against the very thing we fought for?

Quote : All blessings, then, are conditional upon faithfulness. One is ordained to the priesthood with a conditional promise; one is married and sealed in the temple on condition of his faithfulness. And so far as I know there is nothing--no blessing in the world--that anyone can receive except through faithfulness. - The Example of Abraham
