Obeying

I was not going to write tonight.  For reasons I will not disclose.  I had already selected the verse, the one from 1 Samuel from this morning's readings:

"...to obey is better than sacrifice." 1 Samuel 15:22

and again,

"...stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry..." 1 Samuel 15:23

The dialog was between Samuel and Saul, who had spared Agag in battle against the Lord's command.

But I thought late tonight of Don Camillo and his Little World.  Don Camillo often had trouble obeying as well.  Don Camillo was stubborn.  Christ was always able to make his way into the heart of the stubborn Don Camillo, though.  May our Lord do the same with me - and with you.  May the Lord smile on us.
