Ezekiel 7:14 They have blown the trumpet and have made all ready, but none goes to the battle, for My wrath is upon all their multitude.
1 Samuel 15:22-23
"Does the lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the lord, He has rejected you as king."

Strong words from the prophet Samuel to Saul, Israel’s king.
May the Lord help us to practice the word as we listen daily. Obedience is better than sacrifices.
