“Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.” (1 Sam 12:24 KJV)
“Above all, fear the Lord and worship Him faithfully with all your heart, considering the great things He has done for you. (1 Samuel 12:24 HCSB)
“Above All – With All”
What a slogan for life! This verse comes at the close of one of the greatest speeches in recorded history, the farewell message of Samuel, who was bowing out after a lifetime as Israel’s leader. His farewell address is the whole of 1 Samuel 12, and at one point he even called down thunder and rain from heaven – talk about visuals! – warning the people that everything depended on their serving God with “all their hearts”.
Someone once said that “partial obedience is total disobedience”. Too many of us have an unspoken idea that the stresses of life justify a little fudging of the rules. Life is hard, so we deserve a break – a little sinning here and there provides relief from the pressures we bear.
But little sins can cause big problems. After all, germs are little things, yet deadly. A spark is a little thing, but it can consume a forest. The Bible warns about the little foxes that spoil the vines, and Paul wrote that a little yeast leavens the whole lump.
On the other hand, obedience in little things is a big thing!!!
Is there a little sin in your heart that needs to be confessed and corrected? Some seemingly small area of obedience that should be embraced? “Above all, fear the Lord and worship Him faithfully with all your heart, considering the great things He has done for you.”

Good morning!
Thank You Jesus,
Salvation Prayer
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
