TAKE TIME: November 18-23 Reading Schedule

Introduction: This week we will read of the transition between the reign of David to his son, Solomon. Like most things in David's life, including his own ascension to the throne, this transition was not without its controversy. But once Solomon was on the throne of Israel the time that would be known as Israel's glorious kingdom years would commence!

And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself. I Kings 2:3


Prayer Journal (ACTS)

• Adoration - This week take time each day to praise God for being the Supreme Ruler! With all that is happening in the world today we might think everything is out of control when actually the Bible predicted all these things.
• Confession - Ask God to reveal hidden sin in your life and then confess it.
• Thanksgiving - Thank God for any answers to your prayers.
• Supplication - What are your prayer requests this week? List them for future reference so that you can see how God answers.

Putting the Word into Action

Solomon prayed for wisdom. Are you facing situations that seem too hard for you or for which you have no answers? Ask God for wisdom. He promised in James 1:5 that He will give it to us just as He gave it to Solomon when he requested it.
