Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. BLESSED!!!
Ruth told Naomi she would follow her, even unto death. Naomi said no more and they went forth to the homeland. 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
In 1 Samuel 15:22 is obeying. 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.
You probably know that some people, maybe many, show up at church, put their time in, hear God's word, and think they are in God's favor. But what does Samuel say when speaking to Saul?
Samuel asks does God delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices? He says obeying is better than sacrifice; follow God's word is better than the fat of rams. This all boils down to O B E D I E N C E to the LORD's word.
God does not want religious ceremony, or a church ritual, or sacrifice. All our Heavenly Father wants from us is obedience to his word, to live his word, to be loyal to the word of God.
Through our obedience we will find joy. It may come at different costs, but in the end it will bring joy.
Today, my prayer for me and you is that we will show unreserved, wholehearted, immediate obedience to God. Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
