What Sacrifice Is Better Than Obedience?

 

Today's verse is Ecclesiastes 5:1

Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. 

    Some think that if they can get rich off of the travail of others, then give it all to God, that God would be pleased! Maybe, their god would, but not the God that made Heaven and Earth and all things that can be found therein! But, what pleases the God of Heaven? That you hear him and do the things he says. Samuel told Saul, that obedience is better than sacrifice. Besides, what do you have that God needs, nevertheless desires? Yet, Jesus Christ died, that your sin might be forgiven, and rose up from the dead, to give you life eternal. Why? That he might have the pleasure of your company forever, the only thing that would please him more, is to bring someone else with you. Amen.

To God be the Glory
