Adonijah, David’s second son, proclaimed himself king; however, he was not God’s choice (1Kgs 1-2).
Then he said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their expectations on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom has been turned over, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from the Lord.”
We need to let God pick the leader(s) even if they aren’t the most obvious choices to us.
- Considering what you see in God’s Word, what leadership traits do you think David and God saw in Solomon?
- What leadership traits do you see in the people around you?
- What leadership traits do you see in yourself?

Hmm I think the main leadership traits I see in those around me are bravery, compassion, and compromising!

Strong points about letting God’s choices rule our decisions. Definitely inspired me to reflect on what I do to be an honorable leader.
