In the king’s life there was a failure to follow the Lord completely. "Thus, Solomon did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, he refused to follow the Lord completely, as his father David had done." (I Kings 11:6) Unwillingness to be wholehearted in our obedience, trust and love for the Lord eventually leads to self-destructive practices. Many people feel they can be neutral toward God.
"Jesus said, "Anyone who isn’t helping me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me." Ask the Lord to help you always press onward and upward for the call of Christ Jesus by serving Him with all your heart, soul, strength and mind out of a love that comes from a choice to reciprocate His love for you. To do otherwise is a recipe for experiencing the opposition of God. NO one wins against God. Escape the corruption that is in the world by loving the world and putting away the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life. (I John 2:15-16)
The only thing that good men must do for evil to triumph is to avoid doing anything. (Edmund Burke)
You cannot remain neutral towards Jesus Christ. Anyone who is not actively following Him has chosen to rebel against God. Solomon eventually realized that there are severe and lasting consequences for disobedience. Before you fall on to the slippery slope of sin, seek the Lord, His will and His service. Contribute to the expansion of His kingdom and His righteousness as your greatest priority in life.

Matthew 6:33-34 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
What choices do you need to make to keep your relationship strong with Christ?
Choose to serve the Lord instead of slipping and falling away from God like Solomon did. Take instruction and apply God’s Word to your life!
Have a good Godly day.
