January 27 – KNOW YOUR ROLE


Then Samuel said (to King Saul), “Do you think God is excited that you brought him a few animals? Do you think that is better than simply doing what He told you to do? Nothing you can do is better than obedience!” (1 Samuel 15:22)

                What responsibility has God given to you? What do you know is your role? If you don’t know, stop what you are doing. Find a place you can be alone with God. Ask Him to speak to you through His Spirit, and give you that answer. When you do know the answer, immediately make that responsibility become your highest priority each day.

                Samuel, and later David, the prophets, and Jesus repeated this counsel, “God wants you to do what He says, not some ritual or project you dream up to please Him.” The penalty for missing this advice is steep. God rejected Saul’s leadership role (verse 23) because he disobeyed, and He regretted that He had made Saul king (verse 35).

                Don’t waste time creating ideas and beginning projects to please God. Don’t talk about how devoted you are to Him. Just ask Him what He wants you to do…… and then, do what He says.
