God’s Covenant and Solomon’s Warning – 1 Kings 9
Reading the Bible Daily with Dave – August 4, 2025
In 1 Kings 9, God appears to Solomon a second time, reaffirming His covenant and giving a serious warning. While the temple has been completed and Solomon’s fame is spreading, the Lord reminds him that faithfulness—not merely success—is what matters most. God’s promises are sure, but so are His warnings.In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we explore the connection between worship, obedience, and covenant blessings. This passage reminds us that the Lord is holy, faithful, and just—and that our lives must reflect His truth.
