He who gives his will,
his heart, to the Lord, gives all; he who gives not his will, who
comes not in obedience of heart unto the Lord, can offer no
sacrifice to the Lord that could be acceptable. “Behold to obey is
better than sacrifice” is a lesson which should be deeply engraved
upon the hearts of all the sanctified in Christ Jesus. To have the
spirit of obedience is necessary, too, and whoever has the spirit of
obedience will not only obey the Divine will but also will seek to
know the Divine will more and more that he may obey it. It is of
this class that the Scriptures declare, “His word was found and I
did eat it”; and again, in the words of our Lord, “I delight to do
thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my
heart.’ |
