Lets go to the Minor Prophets, to the book of Hosea. Here our Father is saying to two of the of the twelve tribes. Your devotion to Me is like a cloud in the morning. All of you have seen clouds in the morning, when the heat of the sun hits them they evaporate into nothing. Our Father desires kindness not sacrifices also He wants you to have the knowledge of Him more than He wants burnt offerings.
Lets turn to another book in the Minor Prophets, to the book of Micah.
Here the question is asked what will please the L ORD . Lets read the answer in the next verse. By learning His ways. His ways are contained in The Commandments, set forth in Statutes and governing in His Judgements. Lets go to Zechariah.
