The plan of God is taking shape as the nation is divided in two - Judah, with the tribes of Judah and Benjamin loyal to the throne of David and the other 10 forming Israel. It was the desire of Rehoboam to rule the entire nation and he hoped the 180,000 men he had would be able to accomplish his goal. God didn't want a civil war and sent a man of God to dissuade him and reveal God's plan. Convinced now that he could not win against the plan of God, he saw that discretion was the better part of valor. The message was also delivered to Israelites as well. They averted a civil war that no one would benefit or win against the Lord's plan. The nation now had two kings - Jeroboam for Israel and Rehoboam for Judah.
Spoke and prayed with GG last night and it was good to hear his heart - love that boy! He is very much like me in many ways - the sense of independence and willing to pay dues. He has a plan(s) but still is very dependent upon God to see it through. Am praying for his upgrade exam and his well-being daily. Looking forward to getting home tonight!
Praise for today: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1
