And Samuel said, “Has the LORD as much 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.
As we walk this week with the Lord, let’s remember these words from Samuel. God wants His people to remember to prioritize. There are things that we do everyday in our routine that we do according to priorities. It will be silly to brush our teeth first and then eat some Oreo cookies. It would be illogical to go to work but forget the tools we use to perform that job.
In the same way God wants us to do as He commands. He also wants us to do it the way He commands. It is not logical if people today want to follow God but do it the way they want and not the way God has said to do so. Let’s not make Saul’s mistake. Let’s follow God’s commands the way God has shown us to do in the Bible.
