Todays Devotion Topic: Whats This Bleating of Sheep I Hear? Text: 1 Sam 15: 13-14 When Samuel reached him, Saul said, “The Lord bless you! I have carried out the Lord’s instructions. But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?” Amen God instructed King Saul through the prophet Samuel to invade and UTTERLY destroy the Amelekites for the evil they did Isreal whiles the latter returned from Egypt. Saul summoned 200,000 foot soldiers and an extra 1000 men from Judah and invaded the land. He destroyed all but spared the best sheep and the life of King Agag. As Samuel approached the camp of the soldiers, King Saul greets Him and says I have carried the Lords instructions. Samuel replies “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? Beloved if we have indeed surrendered our lives fully to Christ and obey Him just as we claim to be, then where from these sounds of bleating sheep all around us? Talking about those things we do to please ourselves and fellow men even when we know its contrary to what God has commanded us. We still fornicate, steal and cheat big time. We lie our way through everything. At times we are the most unforgiving persons on earth, yet the first at church and last to leave. We act and speak to make everyone believe we walk in perfect obedience, yet in our hearts of hearts we know we are not. Begin to reflect on the sounds of bleating sheep in your very life today and ask the Holy Spirit to deliver you from disobedience. Pray for the grace to take and obey Gods Word at all times no matter what. See you at church. Remember: No excuse is ever tangible enough. Better is one day in the house of the Lord than thousands elsewhere! (yonghana.org; Like our Facebook page: Y Outreach Network)
