Good Morning Everyone, (TGIF ! ! ! ) Enjoy Your
Week-End In Him!
I Samuel 15: 22-23: v.22: And Samuel
said, Hath 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 hearken
than the fat of rams.
23: For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Religious activity in itself
has no value. Saul's motives are shown to be rebellion and
stubbornness, or rather, standing in opposition to God's
commands... When Saul was so proud and arrogant that he
disobeyed God, He sent Samuel to tell him, "Does the Lord really
want sacrifices and offerings?" The answer is
No! He doesn't want your sacrifices. He wants you to obey Him.
Rebelling
against God, or disobeying Him because you are
proud is just as bad as worshiping idols or asking them
for advice. Selah. When you refused to do what God tells you, God will decided
that you can't become
king. Selah. God wants His Leaders to
reign in this life as Kings... When you are rebellious, proud,
and disobedient, Your Heavenly Father Sees you... What we practice provides evidence of our
faith. Faith is not merely a
propositional affirmation. It
determines actions, produces
obedience, and through
overcoming will become fruitful...
This week end, let us find time to pray for America's Spiritual Leaders, and
if you are one, Know this: we are praying for you.
God Bless.
Father, You confronted the children of Israel about
their rebellion and stubbornness and being a stiff-necked people. From the day
they departed from Egypt they provoked the Lord their God. Father, Just as Moses
pleaded with You to have mercy on the people and not destroy them, so we are
pleading with You. Father, forgive America and it's Leaders for its
rebelliousness and sin. Lord, save our nation from destruction. Father, You
place a high priority upon obedience. Thank You Lord, You are a "Father of
Orphans" and a Champion of
widows," and You make homes for the
homeless" and You lead "prisoners to
freedom," But the wicked and
rebellious You will cast down to the
ground."
O Father, extend Your Mercy and Grace to these Your
people. Forgive and restore them to Your Favor.. In returning they shall be
saved; in quietness and confidence shall be their strength...
Thank You for showing them Your Grace,Mercy, and
Patience in returning back to You. In Jesus Name we pray and
give You Glory and Honor... Amen.... Amen..
"Serving In Obedience- "Right Standing" In
Your Presence"
~Love & Blessings~
