"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 sacrifices, and to heed as the fat of rams.' "
I Samuel 15:22
Saul had the idea that he could appease God by works, while at the same time doing his own thing. It's like the man who brings his wife a dozen roses while he is having an affair. The wife may like roses but would much rather have his loyalty. A heart of obedience is better than all the works of piety we do.
Today's Thought: "Doing" will never take the place of "being."
Have an obedient day. Love you.
