1 Samuel 15:22
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.
MEDITATION:
To worship and praise God in the church is one thing; going out into the real world and worshiping it every day through our obedience is another.
It is true that we must confine our adoration in the walls of the church, but we must also continue to adore God by obeying Him in our daily lives, on the lookout for opportunities to serve it.
In 1 Samuel 15, we see that after not having accomplished a task
that the Lord had asked him, Saül used worship (sacrifices) as a pretext to justify his disobedience to God. That is why Samuel came to declare that « obedience is better than sacrifices » (v. 22).
In fact, anything we can do believing we want to please God can not please Him if we do not obey His voice.
Obedience is better than anything in the eyes of God.
To take part in worship at the church is good, but let’us also ask God to tell us how to continue to praise Him by our obedience, as He deserves.
Our worship should not be limited to a time and a place, but inspire our whole life.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, Give us to always obey your voice.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
