—1 Samuel 15:1-11
by: Victoria Richards.
Selective obedience is the same as disobedience. God gave clear instructions to Saul to utterly destroy the Amalekites, sparing nothing. Saul chose instead to do things his way, and as a result paid the consequences for his actions. He was rejected by God. How many times have we taken situations into our own hands, doing what we please, knowing that we are going against God’s will? God has our best interest at heart, so whatever He tells us to do, let us do it knowing that it will be for our good, no matter how it seems at that particular moment.
