Way Of Kings: He Loved The Lord Except...

Look with me today at the life of King Solomon in the fourth lesson in our series on The Way of Kings. He started off serving the Lord well. He did do some things though that were detrimental to himself and the nation. Notice that Solomon married outside of Israel many times for political purposes. Also, although he loved the Lord he worshiped at the high places. You will learn the meaning and history of the high places in this teaching. Did you know that Solomon asked for understanding and discernment in a dream? The popular fact about Solomon asking for wisdom all happened in a dream! Don’t dismiss dreams, they may be crucial to something you need to know from the Lord. As you go over this teaching remember that all of the things in the Old Testament took place as examples for us to learn from. They are there to help us avoid making the same mistakes. This is one reason it’s imperative to read and study the Old Testament.
