If you and I had been asked what God desires most from our lives, we might have been tempted to say worship. And while God is worthy and deserving of our worship, it’s obedience God desires most.

Main Points:

1. We cannot rationalize our acts of obedience to God. Our obedience to God and His Word is not something we do if it seems logical.

2. God desires obedience. When we surrender our lives in complete obedience, we honor God for who He truly is. We also put ourselves in a place where we can receive the blessings of God. The obedient life is the blessed life.

3. Search your heart. Are you offering God partial obedience? Let’s fully surrender our lives to God’s authority.

Today’s Scripture Verses:

1 Samuel 15:9 - “But Saul and the army spared Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambs—everything that was good.”

1 Samuel 15:14 - “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?”

1 Samuel 15:22 - “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice.”
