Scripture Thought Of The Day - May 07, 2023

Then Samuel said, "Is the LORD as delighted with burnt offerings and sacrifices as he would be with your obedience? To follow instructions is better than to sacrifice. To obey is better than sacrificing the fat of rams.
- 1 Samuel 15:22 (GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995))

You can't perform some rituals to make God forget that you haven't done what He has asked you to do.  Obey God fully and don't try to pacify Him by doing what you consider to be good religious works.  Maybe you can fool people this way but God knows everything and isn't fooled by human manipulations.  Just do what He tells you to do!
