DO I HEAR BLEATING?
1 Sam 15:13-14
13 When Samuel reached him, Saul said, "The LORD bless you! I have carried out the LORD's instructions."
14 But Samuel said, "What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?" NIV
** My goal in life is for Godly people to NOT hear bleating of sheep in their ears when they talk to me about my obedience to God. It’s so easy to accomplish most of what God has told me to do. Why do I hold out and not do it all? There are many reasons. First of all it’s often times easier to please man instead of God. It’s not that we don’t love God or anything like that but that we don’t have to look God in the face so to speak and so we let things slip and we so MOST of the things He has laid on our lives but not all of it. So, when people pressure us into doing what they think is best for our lives and we know we don’t want to or are not suppose to do it, we do it anyway because we can’t say no. Another reason is because of pride. I CAN DO IT! We say. And we press on doing things we are not suppose to be doing because we feel if we don’t do it or finish it, we are a failure. I’ve done it and I’ve seen people do things so far away from the plan has for our lives only because we felt it would be a failure to quit and go the right direction. Later Saul is told that “to obey is better than sacrifice.” What has God told you to do? Are you doing it to the letter? If He was to show up and look you in the eye, would you know that you are doing what He told you to do? Or do I hear bleating in the background?
