David’s Final Instruction to Solomon

David’s Final Instruction to Solomon

If you knew you had one day left to live, and you wanted to leave your children some kind of final instruction, what would you say to them?

Twenty years ago I had my kids memorize what I thought was the most important scripture of the Old Testament. I asked them if they still remembered it and all three of them did.

“Okay, let's hear it!” I requested. They all still knew it!

In this verse, I Chronicles 28:9, listen to the last instruction that David gives to Solomon, just before he dies:

“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.”

He is a rewarder of those who seek Him, so think about these promises of God; of these great benefits that He bestows on those who seek Him.
