📖 "Samuel replied, “Has the Lord as much pleasure in your burnt offerings and sacrifices as in your obedience? Obedience is far better than sacrifice. He is much more interested in your listening to him than in your offering the fat of rams to him.” -I Samuel 15:22 The Living Bible
Obedience is important to God. It shows honor and respect. God even says that if we are willing and obedient, we will eat the good of the land. Children are encouraged to obey their parents so that it will be well with them. Obedience shows trust. It demonstrates that you trust the person that is giving the command and that they have your best interest at heart. You trust that they would never ask you to do something that would be harmful to you. God loves us, so when He asks us to do something, it is always for our good. God is always trying to bless us. Every good gift and every perfect gift comes from Him.
