Topic: Truth Tellers
Scripture: Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. – 1 Kings 12:8, NIV
Today’s Word
In 1 Kings 12, King Solomon had died and his son Rehoboam was about to take the throne and rule over an unmatched kingdom of wealth and influence. When the people of Israel asked him to lighten their harsh labor and heavy taxes, he asked the elders who had served his father for advice. They said to do as the people asked, but Rehoboam rejected their counsel and turned to his young friends. They told him to do just the opposite and make it even harder on the people. These young men knew this is what Rehoboam wanted to hear.
It fed his ego, made him feel more powerful, more in charge. But this bad advice caused the Israelites to rebel, tragically splitting the kingdom between Judah and Israel. Don’t make Rehoboam’s mistake. You need people who tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Don’t surround yourself with yes people who always agree and are afraid to tell you the truth or you may not listen to them anymore. Wrong voices lead to wrong choices.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for making it so plain that I need to be selective about whom I surround myself with. Help me to find people who will tell me the truth if I’m doing something wrong or going in the wrong direction. And help me to listen well and make the right choices. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
