In the days of Saul's reign as the 1st King of Israel, he was given specific instructions to destroy the people of Amalek.  However, he chose to keep the spoils of the land and spare their king.  In response, the prophet Samuel asked a profound question that is relevant to all believers today.  He said "what is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to His voice?  Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice."  Today on Sound Doctrine we'll talk about hearing God's voice, and obeying what He says.
