I was reading in 1st Kings when David had gotten old and was unable to Reign as king. When Adonijah, Solomon's oldest brother asserted himself as the next king, and without talking anything over with his father, David. And may I say without asking God. preceded secretly to take the Kingdom instead of God's chosen, which was Solomon. Nathan had heard of Adonijah's declaration of announcing himself king, and the sacrifices that were in process of the celebration on his crowning, and went to Bath-sheba with the news. Nathan instructed Bath-sheba, what to do. He used himself as a witness, in that he came unto king David while Bath-sheba was still speaking to him. Of course King David ordered Solomon to be crowned immediately, stopping abruptly Adonijah's plans. Solomon let his older brother live as long as he showed he was no more treat to him. But Adonijah just could not yet give up without one more devious try. He asked Bath-sheba to intervene for him with Solomon to marry his father's last mistress. Solomon was no fool. He knew that if that were to happen that Adonijah could bring up cause to be the king. Adonijah bought about his owe death by his desire to be something that God didn't want him to be.
I think that we all try to do things and be someone without first going to the Lord and asking Him. God has already given us all the tools we need, to do what He wants us to do. All we have to do is find out what God wants from us. Ask yourself, What does ""God''''want me to do?
Untill next time God bless.
