I don’t know what your thoughts are, but the key verse of the lesson “When Life Turns Upside Down” might be Esther 2:10. If Esther was anything, she was obedient. Why? She trusted Mordecai, so she did what he said.
I am thinking about illustrating obedience and the good that comes from it using an example of harnessing water power. Moving water (our will) flows along a channel (our listening/conforming to God’s commands) to operate (our taking action) a water wheel, for example. Following that, many good things happen. However, when water is out of it’s channel (our disobedient nature), destruction follows. What do you think?

Thanks Todd,
The illustration worked very well, I think. Lot's of heads went up and down as I presented it!
Our will is a force that can be conformed to God's will by listening to His commands. This is followed by our taking action to produce positive results. Taken together, we call that obedience.
