From God's perspective ...

 

 

King Solomon went to the great high place at Gibeon

and offered a thousand burnt offerings on its altar (1 Kgs. 3:4).

However, in his old age, his heart turned away

because of his many wives who led him to follow other gods (11:3-4),

thus disobeying God's word.

This brings to mind the saying,

"To obey is better than sacrifice"

(1 Sam. 15:22).

 

When we offer worship to God a thousand times,

Satan may deceive his thousand servants to mislead us.

From our perspective,

offering a thousand worship services to God might seem pleasing to Him.

However, from God's perspective,

He is more pleased when we obey His first commandment.
