Are you surrendering to His will?

1Sam15:22...“Has the Lord as great a delight in burnt offerings and
sacrifices As in obedience to the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is
better than sacrifice, And to heed [is better] than the fat of rams.

What have you given up for the Lord that was really worth anything? God has
clearly spoken that obedience is what He desires. There are many scriptures
that show what His desires are. Do not forsake the gathering of the saints.
Why is it that 2 hours at church seems like a drudgery and yet a 2 hour
movie doesn't seem like a long enough time to relax. When it is better to
give than to receive, why is $20 so easy to spend at the mall and yet so
hard to put in the offering at church? There have been times in my life
that I did not put God first. My desire, is to be obedient to the God who
is the Creator of all things. Brethren, we must understand that what we
sacrifice to God needs to be our own desires and surrender to His will. Not
our will, but His will be done, in Jesus name, amen.
