Today’s prayer
Written prayerLord, through today's reading of 1 Samuel and through the life of Saul, I now see that obedience is better than sacrifice. With this truth, I am now going through my life, and like the Amalekites, I will get rid of anything that is contrary to Your word and to the life You are helping me to build. I will not let the “King Agags” in my life, that represent sinful and destructive behaviors, linger around me when You’ve commanded me to eradicate them completely. I will not partner myself with people who have corrupt and compromising character no matter how much wealth they promise me. Instead, like Samuel I will sever all ties because obedience to You is better than sacrificing my integrity for treasures and wealth that will bring my downfall. There’s no disloyalty in me God, I am unwavering and locked into my purpose!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
