And Samuel said,

"Has 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,

and to hearken

         than the fat of rams.

                1 Samuel 15. 22

(Obedience is simply

listening and responding 

                  in love to God,

Am I willing to follow Him

     and His way in this?)
