This morning we are going to look at 3 kings, Saul, David and Solomon.
They all had different strengths and weaknesses which we might be able to glean something for our own life in the setting of being saved through Jesus Christ.
As we talked about last week, Israel had rejected God multiple times and yet God promised that in the future they would come back to Him, and He would accept them back.
God will sometimes give us what we want just so we can see the emptiness of it all and repent and return to him.
These three kings, from two different families will take us through their triumphs and tragedies, their deceptions and outright lies, and their character (both good and bad) and how they responded to the prompting of the Lord.
We might be led to ask ourselves how we respond to God’s prompting and what questions (or excuses) we ask ourselves about our situations.
Respond like David, “Against thee and thee only have I sinned,” God wants us back and He paid a terrible price through Jesus’ sacrifice to receive us back.
