Daily Reading: 6.11.25. I Kings 6: Looking ahead to Father’s Day  

In the NT we read that the Holy Spirit inspired the writing of scripture: All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. 

As we stop on our journey through the books of the OT, we come across the events in life of Israel under King Solomon. A king of a different nation had this note: “Because the Lord loves His people, He has made you king over them.” But, King Huram did not stop there:  He continued his praise saying:  “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who has made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who will build a house for the Lord and a royal palace for himself. That alone is a marvelous testimony to the life of David as well as an encouragement to Solomon who has the task of planning and executing the Temple for the Lord.  

What task has God given to you through your deceased parent? I cannot remember anything my parents said to me about my life now, however, it was early on in my teen years as my father took me took me to work, he reminded me of what my life was to be later by saying do not do but do. Although the words were harsh about a certain person and an example. That truth kept me from making many mistakes later. I thank God for these memories. How about you?
