1 Sam 15:22
But Samuel replied: "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
Once you can understand the scripture, you can hear from God. But what do we actually do with what we hear? From the verse above we know that Saul had instructions from God and he disobeyed and tried to cover it up with sacrifices, but he was rejected.
God loves obedience not delayed or compromised obedience but complete obedience. Once you hear from God, you have an obligation to do what you have heard. We don’t necessarily need a loud voice or a prophet to tell us what God is saying. There are instructions all over the bible, we must follow these instructions. When we follow instructions, we draw closer to God; to his heart. God’s words are his will and whoever does the will of God is favored by God. So once you know what to do, you have to take action and do what you know.
Go into today ready to follow the instructions given by your heavenly father. If there is something the lord has been laying on your heart to do, now is the time to do it.
Prayer: Dear lord, please give me an obedient heart and a contrite spirit. Give me grace to do your will. in Jesus name I pray. Amen
