Scripture Readings:  Psalm 105:12-22, I Kings 1,

I Corinthians 15:35-58

Reflection Verse:  I Kings 1:5

Prayer:  Father God, when David was getting old and sickly, Adonijah, the next son in line, decided he was to be king and made preparations for his coronation. He did not seek You or check with David for approval, nor did his father restrain him. When we presume, we often are disappointed.  Once Adonijah’s plans were known, David put Solomon on the throne in his place.  Enable me, Lord, to seek You first to put things in order according to Your plans for me – so that I won’t act presumptuously and get disappointed… In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
