VERSE OF THE DAY

Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.

Psalms 23:4 AMP

DEVOTIONAL

Obedience is better than sacrifice

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

So Samuel said: “Has 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 heed than the fat of rams.

I Samuel 15:22 NKJV

TODAY'S WORD:

God gave Saul victory over the Amalekites but pride and disobedience led to Saul not following God's command in full. Although Saul thought sacrificing to God would make a difference, his disobedience led to his rejection as King.

The best sacrifice you can give to God is a repentant heart and having your body surrendered to His service for obedience. When you sacrifice your money or other items it is good but in obedience you offer your will before God and that is what He values.

TODAY'S PRAYER:

"I thank you heavenly Father for your grace that has brought me this far. Thank you because a broken and contrite heart you will not despise. Help me to be obedient to your commands. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

TODAY'S BLESSING:

■May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you, be gracious unto you and give you His peace.

Obey the commands of God fully this Thursday.
