A Kingdom in Crisis (1 Kings 1)

Share a comment What happens when ambition clashes with God’s plan? King David’s health is failing, and his son Adonijah sees an opportunity. With powerful allies, Adonijah tries to seize the throne. But he ignores one critical fact: God had already chosen Solomon. This episode of The Wisdom Journey explores the political intrigue that nearly tore Israel apart. Stephen Davey unpacks how David’s failure as a father contributed to the crisis, why God’s will always prevails, and what this power struggle teaches about leadership, trust, and faithfulness. If you’ve ever struggled with waiting on God’s timing, this episode is for you. Discover why humility triumphs over ambition and how to stand firm in God’s will, even in times of crisis.Support us: https://www.wisdomonline.org/giveStephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardbackThe Christian's Compass is a companion study guide that corresponds to each of these lessons along The Wisdom Journey.
