Have you ever convinced yourself that “close enough” was good enough?

In life, we sometimes settle for partial effort — whether it’s cleaning a room, finishing a project, or following God’s commands. But when it comes to our faith, partial obedience can be dangerous. King Saul’s story in 1 Samuel 15 reveals this truth: knowing what God expects, disagreeing with parts of it, and doing just enough to feel okay still falls short. Instead of striving for impossible perfection, God calls us to full surrender — daily submitting our lives, seeking out areas of compromise, and trusting His grace to fill the gaps. Don’t settle for “close enough” in your faith. Choose full surrender and experience the strength that comes when God takes control.
