To obey is better than sacrifices...!

I Samuel 15:22-23 NKJV

So Samuel said: “Has 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 heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is  as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is  as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord , He also has rejected you from being king.”

Shalom! Day #146. Do you know that obedience is better than any kinds sacrifices and offerings? Let's pray. Father, we are grateful to You for again reminding us about the importance of obedience towards Your commandments and You voice.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

We think we can bribe God by giving Him our best sacrifice, but them most of the time we forget that obedience is the most important thing God is looking for in a man and woman.  What is sacrifice without obedience? In my previous post, Saul performed sacrifice offerings unto the Lord which he supposed not to do, God did not accept it because he disobeyed what Samuel said. You can offer your best sacrifice to God,  but without obedience it is nothing and God doesn't accept it.

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is  as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is  as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord , He also has rejected you from being king. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, I just know this today. Rebellion is a form of witchcraft,  and unknowingly we have been doing this all the while. Folks, it's never too late to repent lest God rejects our sacrifices and totally rejects us as His servants.  Take to the word and the voice of God. Obey the Lord and bring your sacrifices and present it before God,  and it shall be as a sweet aroma unto God.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
