1 Kings 1:1-53, Acts 4:1-37, Psalm 124:1-8, Proverbs 16:24
Pray: Father, would You earnestly teach me from Your Word today. May I not read for any other reason than to know You more. Guide me by Your Holy Spirit as I read and seek to draw closer to You. Amen.
Read: It must be humbling as leaders to be led and Nathan and Bathsheba did it wisely. David had given up the sword and now he must also surrender the scepter. A wise leader knows when to step aside. God had made it clear that Solomon was God’s choice for the throne.
Edify: Interestingly, Adonijah fled to the altar for safety, not for sanctity. Religion was something he used only for personal profit. Unfortunately, some insincere people today do the very same thing. Our motivations in coming before God must be authentic.
Practice: What do you do when they tell you to stop sharing the Gospel? What did the apostles do? Certainly they recalled the words of Jesus and depended on the Holy Spirit to help them. May we rely fully on the Holy Spirit today.
