1 Kings 10-12, Psalms 80
What God said to me – Do you see what a disaster it is when people go their own way instead of following Me? Look at Jeroboam and learn from his rebellion – for that is what it was. I promised to establish his kingdom if he would just trust Me and follow Me, but he looked at the circumstances and could not see how it could be done. So, he devised his own plan which was contrary to My plan – it was a way which seemed right to him but was far from what I told him. It was lack of trust in My ability to do what I said that caused him to try to manipulate the circumstances to “help”. Trust is essential in walking with Me. Trust Me to work on your behalf.
