Samuel “let none of [God’s] words fall to the ground.” Perhaps this kind of trustworthiness, this kind of dogged attention to one’s calling is what true obedience is. Not craven groveling, but courageous faithfulness. Obedience. It’s no one’s favorite word, especially in a society that so prizes individuality and independence. Because obedience, which implies subservience, seems a strange thing to focus on after taking three-weeks to focus on the importance of relationships. As Google tells us, however (yes, roll your eyes, but it CAN be helpful), “The Latin foundational word for 'obedience' is oboedire, which correctly translated means – ‘to hear or to listen’. This translation implies a relationship of mutuality where members of the community are listening to one another.” Community. Mutuality. Where have we heard THOSE words?Steve Sylvester - October 12, 2025
