The prophet Samuel told King Saul that because the Amalekites had treated Israel poorly when they exited Egypt, that God wanted Samuel to destroy all the Amalekites and their animals.
But 1 Samuel 15:9 says, “Saul and the troops spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, goats, cattle, and choice animals…”
Saul thought that his partial obedience was good enough but quickly learned that partial obedience is disobedience.
In 1 Samuel 15:22, Samuel says to Saul, “Look: to obey is better than sacrifice, to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.”
Saul’s consequence was that God removed Saul’s authority and legacy.
In business, there are many who partially obey God, but are disobedient at work, often due to compartmentalization of their life. Remember partial obedience is disobedience.
