1 Kings 12:20

Biblical Wisdom for Life’s Decisions from Rehoboam’s Life Of all King Solomon’s many children, only three are named in Scripture, and one of them, Rehoboam’s story, stands as a powerful lesson for us today. As we study his story over these three days, may we learn to make wiser choices in our lives and leadership.

Chances are, you have some experience facing hard decisions. They might be decisions about a job, a relationship, or your finances - the decisions that can leave you feeling paralyzed. Over the next six days, we'll explore the best things you can do when facing a hard decision.

This week, we will be looking at the topic of our identity as men, but not in the usual way. Instead of looking at it inwardly, as something we understand about ourselves, I want us to look at our identity like how a mirror looks at us—as a reflection. A reflection of ourselves, our wives, our families, our workplace, and of course, our relationship with Jesus. Let’s see what God has for us and our identity as men! Written by Brad Klassen.

With the death of King David, Israel came under the leadership of Solomon. Although Solomon possessed incredible wealth and wisdom, his idolatry and unfaithfulness lead to derision and division in the kingdom. Despite Solomon and Israel's sinfulness, God continued to preserve the Davidic line in anticipation of the greater coming King, Jesus Christ.
