- f Solomon, whose mother's name
was Zeruah, a widow, rebelled against the king. Rehoboam (Ray) …and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and said to Rehoboam, “Your father made our yoke heavy. Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke that he placed on us, and we will serve you.”
The Elders
“He (Ray) said to them, ‘Go away for three days, then come again to me.’ So the people went away. Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the
- lder men who had
attended his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, ‘How do you advise me to answer this people?’ They answered him, ‘If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them, and speak good words to them when you answer them, then they will be your servants forever.’”
1 Kings 12:5–7
The Young
“The king answered the people harshly. He disregarded the advice that the older men had given him and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, ‘My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.’”
1 Kings 12:13–14

Where Will I Find Help?
Advent
“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd”
Matthew 9:36
The One We Can Trust And Follow
“When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’”
Matthew 5:1–3
God’s Positioning System
Read and follow the directions
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.”
James 1:22–24
God’s Intention
“Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.”
- Phil. 4:9
