FAITH CAPSULE: Trust and hope in God to continually wait and rest on God.

1 Kings 1

God is a good creator of all His creation.
God alone is in control, and He oversees the affairs of all.
In His goodness, He is near to all except those who are far from Him.
How far are you from God?
In the journey of life, it is the level of understanding that one purpose shall determine how far one goes with God.
Know that God is in control.
Anyone with the understanding of God in control of life shall continually wait and rest on God.
To trust and hope in God will gain the blessing of God.
Jeremiah 17:7 admonishes, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.”
To have trust in God and not exercise hope will not provoke the blessing of God.
Trusting and hoping God is the character of waiting on God.
If you know that God is in control of your life, you will wait and rest amid unrest. 
Regardless of the enemy attempting to upstage the plan of God over your life, always trust and hope that the word of God shall not fail over your life.
David promised to put Solomon in place as king, but Adonijah set up a plot because he realized that David was old and advanced in years.
The Bible records, “Then he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed and helped Adonijah. But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David were not with Adonijah.” (1 King 1:7-8)Adonijah conferred with some but not with those counts and matters.
Adonijah was set up for failure because he attempted to answer a calling not of God for him.
The hand of God was in place for Solomon to be king but not for Adonijah. 
There was no struggle for Solomon because Solomon was in the divine schedule for his life. 
The move of Prophet Nathan requires the mother of Solomon, Bathsheba, to play the role of bringing the plan and purpose of God to life when he said to Bathsheba, “Go immediately to King David and say to him, ‘Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your maidservant, saying, assuredly your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? Why then has Adonijah become king?’” (I Kings 1:13) 
Bathsheba reacted, and Nathan responded. By David, Solomon became king.
Today, focus on God. 
Trust and hope God, wait with rest on God.
In your entire endeavor, let the peace of God that surpasses all understanding have its place in your life. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God that you shall live in the center of the divine assignment of God for your life.
