I was looking at the first Kings passage again today and what STRUCK me was the whole thing that happens as God sets up Solomon to be king. It looks likes Adonijah is going to be king.... BUT GOD... Accomplishes HIS purpose and through David sets up Solomon. I see God sorting through this human mess and accomplishing what His purpose is. I love that....I so often see and think that all is lost. Why do I so often forget that--God's got this. He knows, He understands and all along He is working out the details. What a good and kind God --Of course I can trust Him, he has shown me over and over that He is in control (why do I forget?)
