It is upon us! Easter! I use this time to look back on the year and see what I have done for the One who did everything for me. There are areas that definitely still need work and areas that I have improved on. One of those areas I have is spending more time in His Word and I want to share that with you on a weekly bases.
This week I began in I Kings 1. It is amazing to me how we can hear and read stories over and over in the Bible and get something new out of it every time. The one thing that stood out at me today was the fact that David did not know that someone else was claiming Solomon's kingship and had to rely on someone else to come and tell him. Bathsheba and Nathan did tell him and they did it in a way that still allowed David to be the king in the decision making. Could they of thought he was too old and had too many problems to deal with this? Of course, but they were loyal to David and great friends.
It is important in life to surround yourself with solid friends. Friends that you trust and are loyal. These do not come in droves! I find it a privilege if I have one of those friends in my life. To be able to talk with them without having to guard what you say and they would tell you if there was something you should know...like..."oh yeah, there is this guy who has claimed your throne." So count your friend/friends a blessing and let them know how much you appreciate them for being a friend. Also, don't forget to thank God for showing us how to be the ultimate friend...especially this week :)
