Christian Devotional – July 16, 2024

Times of Transition, Day 12

Two kings, two terrible pieces of advice. Read 1 Kings chapter 12.

As we read this chapter, we see that there are two kings in Israel at this point and both of them accepting truly awful pieces of advice that end up ruining them both. When we are seeking advice, it is important to make sure that we are wise about who we are choosing advice from. We must make sure that those people that give us advice are seeking godly wisdom.

We have no reason to follow advice that doesn’t come from Godly council. When we are seeking advice, are we seeking Godly advice, or are we ending up with the terrible worldly advice like these two kings received?
