(1 Kings 2:1-12) As David was dying he left some standing orders for his son Solomon. What he desired for his son was that he would live a life according to God’s will. He was calling his son to live a life of integrity and character. God gave David a promise that if he and his descendants followed Him that they would continue to stay on the thrown.
(2 Samuel 11:1-27) David, had let sin begin to rule over him and cause him to fall into even more sinful behavior. David had become lazy in his devotion to the Lord, and His leading in his life. When we let our spiritual lives become lax we too are not equiping ourselves to stand in the face of temptation.
(1 Samuel 17:32-51) Just as
(1 Samuel 13:1-14) In this passage Saul revealed his lack of faith, and trust, in the Lord. Rather than following God’s instruction he took matters into his own hands. I think we all have times where we fail in this same area. How strong is our faith in all areas of our lives, and especially when times get tough.
