Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘Very well,’ Bathsheba replied, ‘I will speak to the king for you.’”
(1 Kings 2:18)

Bathsheba was naïve, trusting, politically inexperienced, Jesus

She took the conniving Adonijah at his word

not knowing that if her son Solomon had granted his brother’s request

she and her son would soon be dead.

I want to take people at face value, Father…but I’ve learned the hard way

that isn’t always possible

O Holy Spirit:

Grant me Your priceless gift of discernment!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“I saw that wisdom is better than folly…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:13)

Of all the wise words Solomon spoke, Jesus

this is one of the most obvious.

Except it wasn’t to him – not at this stage of his life – when because of his sin, his outlook had darkened.

You had given him this amazing gift of miraculous wisdom
appeared to him and spoken to him twice

but he lost focus.

O God! I beg You!

Don’t let that happen to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly discernment:

“Please ask King Solomon – he will not refuse you – “
(1 Kings 2:17)

That should have been Bathsheba’s first clue, Jesus:

Something about Adonijah’s request didn’t smell right.

Why didn’t he go to Solomon himself?

Because his request didn’t stand on its own merit.

He was hoping Solomon’s love for his mother
would blind him to its hidden agenda.

Help me take a lesson, Holy Spirit…

next time somebody asks me to do their dirty work.
