Obedient Through It All - Philippians 2:8 (NKJV)

And being found in appearance as a man, HE humbled HIMSELF and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

--------------------------------------------

One of the biggest mistakes we make as Christians is thinking our sacrifice is more important than obedience.  We sacrifice our families, by working a job that keeps us away from ministering to the very ones we say we love!  Sometimes we feel that the best should be left for sacrifice and those around us are starving right before our very eyes!  Saul lost his anointing because of his lack of obedience.  He though sacrifice was more important . . . this is the same mistake we make from time to time.  Even though JESUS was the ultimate sacrifice.  HE sacrificed it all for you and me! BUT . . . HIS sacrifice was not of HIS own will, but was a result of HIS obedience to the FATHER . . . even to a death on the cross!
