Sacrifice…
“Has the Lord as great delight in burn offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.” 1 Samuel 15:22
What does the Lord delight in most? He delights in obedience. To obey the Lord is dependent upon hearing Him speak. I want to obey the Lord more than I want to continue to try and offer up pleasing sacrifices. I want to listen, hear Him speak, and do His will for my life. What is it that Christ is telling me to do?
What house does he want me to live in? What car does he want me to drive? How does he want me to spend my money? What does he want me to do with my life? These questions are the type of questions that God finds delight. Yet, I find myself looking at my stuff all to often and telling God it is His, and how thankful I am for Him blessing me with it. I pray that today I will hear from God and obey. I no longer desire to offer sacrifices for my benefit, I want the Lord to find delight in my inclined ear and obedient response.
