2 Chronicles 1
Daily Devotional from 2 Chronicles 1--
Verse 14
“Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen.
Before Israel came into the promised land, Moses warned that future kings must never gather horses, wives, and riches.” (Deut. 17:16-17)
Those weren’t just random things. They actually correspond with the three modern temptations for people today: Power, sex, and money. Now these aren’t necessarily bad things, unless they exceed certain limits. Yet Solomon never seemed to have enough, and it spelled his ruin.
What good things do you struggle to keep in moderation in your life? Food? Technology? Sleep? Work? Too much of a good thing is never a good thing. So, if God has blessed you with a relationship with Himself, you can practice the art of saying 'I have enough.' Godliness with contentment is great gain.
