Word for Monday January 17th. “And Samuel said, “Has 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 listen than the fat of rams.” 1 Samuel 15:22. St. Francis de Sales said, “Many Religious and others have been saints without meditation, but without obedience, no one.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus we thank you that You have decided to be a friend of humanity. Created in Your image we need to take from You what this relationship should be: one of obeying the design You intended for each one of us and listening to Your voice and obeying it for again it is You alone who knows the direction we should take. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
