Only Obey

Read:  Psalm 85 / Proverbs 22 / 1 Samuel 15 / John 2

Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
Proverbs 22:5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
1 Samuel 15:22,23 Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice... For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft... stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
John 2:16,25 Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise... He knew what was in man.

Shall I now hear what God will speak,
But from His counsel turn away?
Should not I only daily seek
To hear His voice and to obey? 

Let stubbornness be purged from me
With all its sinful consequence! 
Rebellion is idolatry;
Let all these things be taken hence!
