Joshua 11:15 says, “As the Lord had commanded Moses His servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.” Paul said in 2 Timothy 4:7, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

On the other hand, we see a disobedient heart in the life of king Saul. In 1 Samuel 15, he took matters into his own hands and lost his kingdom. Verse 23 says, “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord…”

The root to disobedience is a rebellious heart. Again, we must look to Jesus as our example. Isaiah 50:5 says, “The Lord God has opened My ear; and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away.”
