Don't be like the Bull


Are you yielding to God's Devine directions for your life or just like the bull are you stubborn, refusing to yield to God's purpose and all bent on having things your way?

 1 Samuel 15:22
"But Samuel replied: Does the Lord delight in burnt offering and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord?  To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

God rejected Saul as King because he choose to disobey God's instructions and do things his own way by pleasing his soldiers.

Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 

In this generation, 
everyone is trying to please the world (who don't really care about them), they go through great pain to create an impression of acceptance in the mind of others.

Stop and ask yourself, will it be worth it at the end?
Should I enjoy a short period of self satisfaction of having things my way and live with the pain of my decision for the rest of my life?

Or
 do I just yield myself to God's Devine purpose for my life and save myself from all kinds of pain and regrets.

Aunt Betsy Trotwood is not pleased to see the malicious Mr. Murdstone. She recounts a list of offenses and does not let him slither out of his responsibility for each act of cruelty. Her charges are so forceful and truthful that Mr. Murdstone—a normally aggressive person—finally leaves without a word. Through the strength and goodness of Aunt Betsy’s character, David finally receives justice. There is Someone else who is strong and good, and who will one day right the wrongs in our world. When Jesus returns, He will come down from heaven with a group of powerful angels. He will “give relief to you
