1 Kings 11:19
Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Sat, Aug. 7, HADAD (I Kg. 11:19). It is so easy for God to do everything. Yes, he is an Omnipotent God. Everything is a piece of cake for him. He can bless easily, he also can raise troubles or allow problems to come into our life so easily too. Notice, this Solomon story. He didn’t follow God’s command. At the end of his life, he follow his wives. Therefore,
1. God raised Hadad in Edom.
Hadad was one of the problems that God allowed to come into Solomon’s life. He was an Edomite whom ran away to Egypt, when Joab killed all his people.
2. God raised Rezon in Aram.
Rezon was another adversaries for Solomon. He caused troubles for Solomon. They didn’t make wars to Solomon, but giving him headaches. They didn’t cause too much problems, because God limited them. We can see here God’s complete power.
3. God raised Jeroboam in Israel.
Not only far away in Edom or Aram, but right in his own kingdom, under his own wing, God raised another adversaries, Jeroboam. God didn’t raise 1, but 3 at once. They caused troubles at the end of Solomon’s life until he passed away. Therefore, we have to be alarmed if there are many troubles in our life, perhaps, God wants to say something, wants to warn us something. Watch our life closely and carefully. ASH.
