Except

1 Kings 3

3a Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the decrees of his father, David, except…


Oh boy. Here we go. “Except.” That’s the word that gets us all into trouble. See, we can’t expect God’s blessings when we love the Lord and follow Him, except…

The exceptions led to Solomon’s downfall spiritually, and led to the splitting up of the kingdom following Solomon’s death. I cannot allow the “exceptions” in my life either! I need to love the Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind and with all my strength. Period.
