The Power of Obedience
Reading: 1 Samuel 15:22-23
Devotional: Obedience to God is a crucial theme in both our reading and the sermon. Samuel's words to Saul remind us that God values our obedience more than our sacrifices or religious rituals. It's easy to fall into the trap of "doing things for God" while neglecting to simply obey His voice.
Consider your own life. Are there areas where you're offering "sacrifices" to God, but neglecting simple obedience? Perhaps God is calling you to serve in a specific way, or to let go of something He's asked you to release. Today, commit to listening for God's voice and obeying promptly, remembering that obedience is an act of love and trust.
