There are many instances in the Bible where someone sacrificed burnt offerings to the Lord. After their sacrifice, God blessed them in some way.
Let’s look at how God blessed Solomon after his sacrifice.
1 Kings 3:4 The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. 5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”
Solomon’s sacrifice to God was so pleasing until God asked him what he desired. When Solomon desired a discerning heart to govern his people, God not only blessed him with wisdom but also, riches and honor.
In 1 Samuel 15:22 the word of God tells us that obedience is better than sacrifice. If sacrificial offerings released such a great blessing from God to Solomon, how much more of a blessing will God give through our obedience?
Our obedience entitles us to the blessing and our faith releases the blessing.
We should obey God in every way and know that God will enhance the quality of our life.
Be Blessed.
1 Samuel 15:22 But Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
