“That the LORD may continue his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.” - 1 Kings 2v4
David was very near death. He called his son Solomon, who was to be the next king to his side for some final words of instruction.
The words are directly applicable to the kings of Israel, but are sound wisdom for us as well. If we want to see success in our walk for him and we want to continue on in that walk we would do well to heed the same advice.
Take heed to our way
Walk in truth with all our hearts and souls
The first one is very important. It is so easy to just get on with our lives and not really pay attention to our walk. However, many times in the word of God we are told to take close heed to our lives, to keep our hearts with diligence, and similar instructions.
Living the Christian life does not just happen. It takes work and giving careful heed every single day.
