Obedience

Main Scripture: …To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.1 Samuel 15:22

Have you ever been told to do something, but instead you do the absolute opposite because you did not understand why you should not do it? We tend to be like that at times because we need an explanation for everything.

However there is a little saying that goes, “Sometimes the very things we fight against, the very things we think are trying to pull us down are actually the hand of God trying to push us into a new season.”

Today don’t allow disobedience to rob you of your blessings.

In today’s scripture Samuel was talking to Saul because he disobeyed the commands of God, this disobedience resulted in God’s rejection of Saul, the loss of his kingship for his descendants and the eventual death of his family.

Many times because of pride and sometimes selfishness we fail to obey the commands of God. However all acts of disobedience can acts that can hinder the blessings of God in our lives and have consequences.

God blesses and rewards obedience; in Genesis 22:18, God told Abraham “And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.” (NLT)) but disobedience also has its reward. Romans 2:6-8 tells us “…But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness.”

Ladies ask God to help you today to be obedient to His commands and His will for your life.

Let’s Pray,

Almighty God, today we humbly come before and we pray that you will help us to trust you and obey your commands.

In Jesus Name

Amen
