- I know, I know.

It's just...

- Hey, everybody out there!

- I thought that maybe if I--

- Thanks for watching The Superbook Show.

- Oh, what no!

I'm sorry, it's..

I think I just got into trouble.

(intense music)

(logo whooshing)

- That must've been yourparents on the phone, huh?

- Yeah, they told me notto watch a certain show,

then they caught me watching it.

- That's rough.

- I tried to smooth things over

by picking up some extrachores around the house.

(vacuum humming)

But they're still upset.

- Why wouldn't they be mad?

Obedience is better than sacrifice.

- To make it right, I did the dishes

(soap bubbling)on my sister's dish day.

It wasn't even my day!

Obedience is what now?

- Obedience is better than sacrifice.

- What in the world are you saying?

- I'm saying, it's easier todo the right thing at first,

than it is to go back and tryto make things right later.

- But it wasn't even my day!

- Oh, I heard you.

Now check out this Superbook episode

where King Saul disobeyed.

- It's true that the army spared the best

of the sheep and cattle.

But they're going to sacrificethem to the Lord. your God!

- Listen!

Obedience is better than sacrifice,

and submission is better thanoffering the fat of rams!

- God told Saul to destroyeverything in the enemy camp.

And Saul chose to partially obey.

- So I guess partial obedienceis still disobedience?

Why do you think Godtakes it so seriously?

- If you read the rest of the story,

you'll see that Saul's disobediencewas an act of rebellion.

- Rebellion?

- Yes!

If God tells you to dosomething, that's His word.

And nothing is moreimportant than His word.

- I really messed up.

- Yes, you did.

But your parents will forgive you,

and so will God.

The question is, whatare you going to do now?

- Obedience is soundingkinda good right now.

- It should.

Obedience brings blessings to your life.

- You got any scripture for those lessons

you're talking about?

- Yes.

In Psalms it says,

blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

who greatly delights in His commandments.

- So, I don't just need to be obedient?

I need to have a goodattitude about it, too?

- Well, yeah.

- This is gonna take some prayer.

- That's cool, because that'swhat it takes for us all.

- His word is forever alive.

Now let's pray.

Scripture. (both laughing)You got any blessings?
