What does God want from you?

“Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,” 1 Samuel 15:22

The most important thing you can ever do for God is to obey His voice when He instructs or calls you to a specific action.

King Saul was called by God to attack and kill all the Amalekites including their livestock. Saul complied but allowed the Israelites to take the best livestock with them to make a sacrifice to the Lord.

This action ended the favor of God over King Saul and would lead to his misery, destruction, and death. Saul compromised the instructions from God based on the leaning of his own mind.

God wants your total obedience and has no interests in your sacrifices or offerings. When you reject God you are expressing stubbornness and idolatry. You are stating that your way is better than God’s way.

The purpose of Jesus Christ is to free you from your personality and the habits of living for self. This transformation gives you the ability to live for God and not for self. God merges your personality with His personality and you become yoked to Him.

This can only happen when you experience the love of God and understand the depth of His glory and power.

Listen for the voice of God today and comply without hesitation or compromise! He loves you!
