It is our choice . ( 1 Samuel 18 v 21 )

When Hitler came to power, one of the things he brought into being, and oath by the army of absolute obedience to him.That oath was very influential and many soldiers found themselves involved in acts of cruelty,they otherwise would not have done. I believe we should never take an oath of absolute obedience to any earthly power, or person. Of course obedience is vital to any society ,or household ,we cannot have anarchy,without obedience ,things will fall apart.We read how Christ became obedient unto death even death on a cross,without this obedience we would have no salvation.Israel 's history is one of continual disobedience,and they paid a price for it,but when they obeyed what a difference that made,God caused them to prosper,obedience to God will always make not only a difference, but it will bring blessings.When Israel disobeyed they suffered, when they obeyed God  and honoured Him,their enemies were defeated, the country never looked back. We will never lose out by obeying God, disobedience will cause us to loose out in so many things,Jonah disobeyed his call from God and he found Himself in dire straits.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               To obey God is always                                                                                                                                          Better                                                                                                                                                          Safer                                                                                                                                                          Rewarding,                                                                                                                                     To disobey God is always                                                                                                                                       Dangerous                                                                                                                                                 Foolhardy                                                                                                                                                   Sinful
