# 1 Chronicles 28 #soap ## Title: Wise Advice That Always Works ## Scripture: (1 Chronicles 28:9) “And you, Solomon my son, obey the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, for the Lord examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently. (NET) ## Observation: It can be difficult to give someone advice because we don’t have all the details. Someone can ask for advice concerning a relationship issue while withholding important details that could change the advice given. I have been on both sides of this situation. I haven’t had all the details but have been asked for advice. I have also not shared all the details because they were private or I didn’t have them myself. David doesn’t know what type of king his son has the potential to be. However, he knows the power of pursuing God with your whole heart. He gives his son the best advice to have the greatest chance of living up to his potential. Pursue God, everything else will work out the way it should. ## Application: Prioritize your relationship with God. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being worthy of our whole lives. Your goodness never ends.
