‘And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. ‘
I Kings 4:29
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
I must.
Keep.
My faith.
And.
Stay focus.
On.
What.
He has.
Promised me!
This morning.
As I.
Read.
Through.
The first.
Part.
Of.
I Kings.
I took.
Notice.
To.
How.
The Lord.
Elevated.
King Solomon.
First.
His brother.
Adonijah.
Attempted.
To.
Take.
Over.
As.
The king.
Over Israel.
Even.
Though.
David.
Said.
His son.
Solomon.
Would.
Sit.
On.
His throne.
After him.
‘Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king”; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. ‘
I Kings 1:5
Then.
I noticed.
How.
King Solomon.
Asked.
The Lord.
For.
Wisdom.
And.
Understanding.
As he.
Took over.
As.
King.
‘Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”’
I Kings 3:9
Look.
Even.
Though.
The wicked.
Are.
Doing well.
Don’t.
Envy.
Them.
‘For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.’
Psalms 73:3
Instead.
Stay focus.
On.
What.
The Lord.
Has.
Promised you.
Because.
What’s.
For you.
Is.
Yours.
Even.
When.
The wicked.
Attempt.
To.
Steal it!
For.
If we.
Keep.
Our faith.
Then.
We.
Will.
Be.
Do.
And.
Have.
Everything.
The Lord.
Has.
For us!
I pray.
That you.
Keep.
Your faith.
And.
Don’t.
Let.
The prosperity.
Of.
The wicked.
Distract.
You.
From.
What.
The Lord.
Has.
Promised you!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
