Samuel 15:22
"Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in
obeying the voice of the Lord? To
obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams." NIV
"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."
KJV
When
performing outward good works becomes more important than the inward obedient attitude, God becomes displeased. It is
a sacrifice of time and energy to volunteer to
clean the church, but it is a greater spiritual work to bring all of your thoughts captive to Christ. Make this
more important in your life without neglecting
the good works.
Heavenly Father,
forgive us for thinking our attendance at church, our reading our Bibles, and
involving ourselves in Christian activities are what we need to do to please
You. Help us to understand and begin living out obedience to Your Word that is
more pleasing to You than anything. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
