To obey is better than sacrifice. What area of life do you need a greater level of obedience to the Lord?
1 Samuel 15:19–22 (CSB) —19So why didn’t you obey the Lord? Why did you rush on the plunder and do what was evil in the Lord’s sight?” 20“But I did obey the Lord!” Saul answered. “I went on the mission the Lord gave me: I brought back King Agag of Amalek, and I completely destroyed the Amalekites. 21The troops took sheep, goats, and cattle from the plunder—the best of what was set apart for destruction—to sacrifice to the Lord your God at Gilgal.” 22Then Samuel said: Does the Lord take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? Look: to obey is better than sacrifice, to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.
