Sing to the Lord; praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
But Samuel replied,
"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.
But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong.
Lord, you taught us that obedience to your word is what you want. Help us to be more obedient to your will. You know our hearts. Amen.
