Solomon did not obey

and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the LORD had commanded. – 1 Kings 11v10

We’ve said it before; a key part of living for the Lord is simple obedience to Him. Solomon, despite all that he wrote in the book of Proverbs, never learned that lesson for himself. Solomon had a problem with women, Solomon did not wholly follow the Lord, but it all comes back to the truth that Solomon did not obey.

We teach our kids the little song that says, ‘Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe.’ But, I think that sometimes the problem with kid’s song is that we ignore the message they have for us. ‘This is just a kiddie song,’ after all.

Sometimes our problem is that we make things too complicated. I wonder why we have such a hard time just simply obeying.

What if we made it this simple? Read God’s word. Study it. Meditate on it. Then simply obey it.

What is the key to living a victorious Christian life? I don’t need to write a book to answer that question.

Here it is. Are you ready?

Obey God.
