God requires total obedience, because partial obedience – is disobedience. “ To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.” ( 1 Samuel 15:22 )
God is not “an almost” God. Yes, our God is merciful and kind but He is also a protective Father.
Let’s learn from Samuel to have a tender heart for the Lord and keep His commandments even if everyone around us don’t do it & we are left alone. We are never alone with God!
