God's instructions are clear...

Samuel the prophet urged King Saul to take careful note of what God was about to instruct him in 1 Samuel 15:1 (NIV)  Samuel said to Saul, "I am the one the LORD sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the LORD." King Saul had to hear God clearly properly and destroy the Amalekites. But he presumptuously thought he could change what God instructed to his own benefit. As a result, he was rejected by God. God’s instructions are clear and precise. Whenever we get confused, we just need to go back to what was actually said. Many times when things become unclear. I can get clarity by simply getting back to what God had clearly said. What did God actually say as opposed to what I thought God said? Sometimes we may have heard from God, but we distort what God actually said to what we want to hear Him say. Perhaps God said, "Buy a cheap car!" and we reason to ourselves that God gave us permission to buy an expensive car. Such distorted hearing, leads to distorted obedience and that is dis-obedience!
