From the sayings of ABBA PACHOMIOUSabout OBEDIENCE

“Be ever more obedient to God and He will save you.”

“Receive the spirit of obedience and of strength.”

“When you obey you do the will of God.  Even if an order is about a very small thing it is important.  In order to obey Joshua, the army kept silence for seven days, going around Jericho.  Then when they received the order to shout, they obeyed and fulfilled God’s will.”
