The NIV 365-Day Devotional Reading Plan |  |
Day 296 of 365Obedience
Obedience to God and what his Word tells us is crucial. Obedience shows God we consider him holy and worthy of honor. Obedience shows us that our faith is real. So how can you honor God daily? When God says something to you in his Word, take it personally. Reading the passage on honoring your husband or taming the tongue doesn't fulfill your obligation; your actions reflect your heart toward God. Obedience honors God. Disobedience dishonors him. The practice of obedience will align your heart with God's own desire. For "just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy'" (1 Peter 1:15-16).
REFLECT & PRAY:
*What was the last command God gave you through his Word?
*Did you obey or disobey?
*How did your actions honor or dishonor God?

1 Samuel 15:22 KJV
22 And Samuel said, 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, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
