Rehoboam acted out by making his own choices; Free will.  But God overrules him in His sovereignty. That is how things work… We make choices. God gives us opportunities to do the right thing. When we comply, God uses His sovereignty to bless; when we refuse, His sovereignty curses. It’s that simple—He is in charge.  We are left to deal with the consequences…

Please, when you hear me tell you to do what is right and God will bless you and when you hear me say ‘stop sinning before things get worse,’ please listen.

Solomon was born to build this temple! It was his purpose in life. We focus on his wisdom, his wealth, and his extravagant lifestyle, and the other really important things he did (education reform, scientific discovery, writing Proverbs and the SoS, but this was the one thing he was created by God to do. We all have that one thing…
