Even as you hit the fast lane of life with furious strides that brook no brakes, won’t you pause a moment to grab a grain of scriptural truth embedded herein ? (click on hypertext in the Day’s Reading for reference verse)
No obligations! You are ofcourse perfectly at liberty to skip these Readings altogether. Should that be your choice, go ahead – save 30 seconds!

I will be king!
These are the boastful words of Adonijah, son of David. With David marrying left,right and centre whomsoever his eyes desired and fathering no fewer than nineteen sons (give or take a few), the succession battle raged royally. And Adonijah being handsome and all, thought himself the cats’s whiskers and the smartest thing on two legs! A deadly brew of narcissism and megalomania drove him to exalt himself.
Oh, he had support. Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander. But God? (a big question mark)
Know your place!
