「Then 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."」
King Saul defeated the Amalekites but failed to obey God's crucial command. Therefore, God regretted making Saul king of Israel and removed him from the throne. God's regret is recorded only in Genesis 6 and this chapter. When Samuel rebuked him for this incident, Saul tried to justify himself. Then Samuel declared plainly: “To obey is better than sacrifice.”
God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
May we be faithful to the Lord in truth today as well...
God bless you. See you tomorrow.
