Happy Sunday Obedience Samuel 15: 22 ( KJV ) And Samuel said , Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD ? Behold , to obey is better than sacrifice , and to hearken than the fat of rams . Saul was rejected as king because he failed to utterly destroy the Amalekites, instead choosing to keep the best of the best for himself and to sacrifice to God . But God didn ’ t want his sacrifice , he wanted obedience . God wants your obedience , He wants you to harken to His words , He wants you to do as He has commanded , He wants you to be a doer of His words and He wants you to love Him . As a believer the only sin you can commit is disobedience because there is no law or principle you are not aware of , you can only choose to obey or disobey . Ex 15 :26 And said , If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God , and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments , and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee , which I have brought upon the Egyptians : for I am the LORD that healeth thee . Like a child when chastised by the mother, he still runs back to the mother for protection . Be like that even when God is punishing you for your disobedience, don ’t start getting ideas, run back to God , so that he would welcome you back and protect you, King David is a perfect example of this . In all my friends be obedient to God , that ’ s what He wants most from you , not your dance , not your offerings, not your tithes, not your prayers but your obedience first, then all others can follow.
