And may the lord be with Solomon as he has been with you, my lord the king, and may he make Solomon’s reign even greater than yours!”
Take courage and be a man.
Didn’t I make you swear by the lord and warn you not to go anywhere else or you would surely die? And you replied, ‘The sentence is fair; I will do as you say.’ 43Then why haven’t you kept your oath to the lord and obeyed my command?”
Blessings were a regular part of communication, respect and blessing was expressed before any request. Out of fear and or respect, it was an attitude carried. I want to make pleasing the Lord and others a part of my attitude.
Lord God,
Please help me to develop an attitude of reverence in my life that is constant with you and others. May I be pleasing to you at all times.
In Jesus name,
Amen
