Exodus 34:25-26 You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, nor shall the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left until morning. The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring to the house of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk. Why? A question we all seem to ask throughout our lives, and a question we all seem to ask God a lot. Sometimes, we are like little kids when their parents tell them to do something. Because what is their first response when we tell them to do something? Why! Oh how happy is a parent who’s child does not ask why when they are told to do something lol. God gives us a command and what is our response? Why! We question God over and over instead of simply being obedient. Think of Moses, who God is speaking to in today’s devotional verses. God gave Moses many commands, but you never read of Moses asking God why when He gave the commands. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not a sin to ask God why, when you are not understanding something. The sin is when you question God thinking you know better than God does. I mean, who in their right mind would want to do such a thing, and if you did, do you really think God would tell you why, or would His responses be how He responded to Job? Job 40:6-7 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: “Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.” Do you think that you are greater then Job? Do you think that you are greater then God? When you ask why, you are challenging the person and his or her ability to make the right decision. When you ask God why concerning His commands or when He is telling you to do something, you are questioning God signifying you are right and God is wrong. Maybe God should ask us “why” we think we know better than Him! Job 40:8 Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me that you may be justified? 1 Samuel 15:22 (NLT2) But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.
