Oswald Chambers writes, “The golden rule of spiritual understanding is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience. Intellectual darkness comes through ignorance; spiritual darkness comes through disobedience.”
“But Samuel replied,
— 1 Samuel 15:22 (NLT)
‘What is more pleasing to the LORD:
your burnt offerings and sacrifices
or your obedience to his voice?
Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice,
and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.’”
Lord Jesus, help me to be obedient in all things both large and small. If there is any area of disobedience in my life show me that I may repent and be delivered. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
