ADVICE TO A KINGADVICE TO A KINGADVICE TO A KINGADVICE TO A KING

The Story takes us from the beginning to the end. From fall to redemp�on. From crea�on to

eternal life. Along the way we get to see glimpses of people’s lives and the advice that is given

to them becomes priceless. God reminds Abraham that the promise is his if he will obey. God

tells Moses all that he wants out of his people and the reward for following. God tells Joshua

to be strong and courageous in the face of an enemy that they will face upon crossing the Jor-

dan. God’s advice and the advice from those who were near to God have always been of the

most help when followed.

As we enter Chapter 13 of The Story it opens with David’s life drawing to a conclusion and

Solomon taking his place as King of Israel. David was a man that knew very well the defeat

that comes from being away from God and the joy of victory when adjoined to God. David’s

advice is priceless to Solomon and to us as well as Solomon prepares for a new posi�on in life.

As we listen to David’s words, perhaps they can bring some wisdom upon us as well in what-

ever stage of life we find ourselves in.

I Kings 2: 1When David's �me to die drew near, he commanded Solomon his

son, saying, 2

“I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show

yourself a man, 3

and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his

ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his tes�mo-

nies, as it is wri*en in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you

do and wherever you turn.

What more would you want out of a King? What more could you want out of a husband or a

son? What more could you want out of running a business? Or in how you conduct yourself at

school? What great lessons these are for all of us to consider this week as we look at the fol-

lowing:

Be strong: Where do I put my strength; from where do I gain my strength?

Show yourself a man: A man that takes responsibility, that owns his ac�ons, that behaves

maturely.

Keep the charge of the Lord: The Lord has never mixed words when it came to his wishes

for obedience. Do you trust him enough to obey?

David knew from experience that when he kept all these things, he was prosperous. When he

stared down a giant, when he was victorious in ba4les, when he was successful against Saul

and at Ziklag. David also knew the severe consequences when he failed to obey this very ad-

vice he gives his son. What great advice for a King, what great advice from a King to us.

Ask Any Farmer

Ask any farmer and he will tell you that the suc-

cess of any crop depends, to a great extent, upon the

type of soil on which the seed is sown. Yes, there are

other variables but that is extremely important. Jesus

spoke about four soil types. You and I are like one of

the four types. Remember this very important point:

each of you chooses the type of “soil” he will be. This is

not a pre-determined factor.

Those seed that fell along the hardened path-

way are those who hear the word but the devil comes

along and takes away the word from their hearts so

that they will not believe and be saved.

The seed which fell on the rocks are the ones

who receive the word joyfully but they have no root

structure. They believe for a while but when things get

tough they fall away.

Third, the seed which fell among the thorny

plants represent those who hear and start growing but

later are choked out by life’s worries, riches and pleas-

ures thus they do not mature as they were expected to

do.

However those seed which fell on the good soil

represent those who with a noble and good heart hear

the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a good

crop at harvest �me.

The primary point is that each of us determines

what kind of soil he will be. What kind of soil do you

choose to be? Your future depends on it!
