1106B: He Did Not Set His Heart
Rehoboam was a man destined for greatness simply by virtue of who his father was, and yet a man who missed greatness, simply because he forgot who his heavenly Father was. He did evil, because he did not set his heart to seek the Lord. He wanted to enjoy the fruits of the kingdom without surrendering to the disciplines of the King, so he missed it, and his name goes down in history simply as one of the king’s kids who missed his claim to greatness. Has there ever been a time when, by an act of your will, you simply handed over the reins of your life to a Sovereign God who has an incredible plan for your life that will both honor Him and make you what you were intended to be?
