1 Kings 1:8
"But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah."
The easy choice would be to go with the young, charismatic leader that everyone seemed to love and flock to. But instead these men stood firm in loyalty to what they believed was right. They were not with Adonijah and history sees them as heroes.
Who am I with? Who am I not with? My heart and life is a kingdom with a king. Someone will rule me. Who will I choose to be king of my heart? Myself? Selfish desires? Money? Or perhaps the True King of kings?
But no one can serve two masters. I must make a conscious choice. It cannot be that I mentally acknowledge that God is my King. A subject obeys, respects, loves his king and serves Him willingly.
Who is king of my heart and life?
