Immediate Obedience

Alma 7:18

"Now it came to pass that after Alma had received his message from the angel of the Lord he returned speedily to the land of Ammonihah. And he entered the city by another way, yea, by the way which is on the south of the city of Ammonihah."

Alma had just been kicked out of the city of Ammonihah because the people did not want religion in their city. He was on his way elsewhere when an angel commanded him to return and warn the people to repent. Even though it was probably a scary thing for Alma to do, he 'returned speedily.' He knew it was most important to follow God's commands. His fears did not matter, so he obeyed.
