ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 2ND SEPTEMBER 2026.
Then he said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their expectations on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom has been turned over; and has become my brother’s; for it was his from the Lord.” From our text, it appears that by custom, kingship was the right of the speaker, the expectation of the people, and the consent of the high priest. And without clearance from his father and confirmation from God, Adonijah went ahead to declare himself king.
This certainly was not in line with the covenant David made with Bathsheba (1 Kings 1:17), which in every sense, had God’s support. Here, we see the tension between human ambition and divine sovereignty; or man’s election versus God’s appointment. Again, we are reminded of God’s sovereignty in the choices of life; particularly as it relates to leadership. At every level, we should appreciate that the choice of a man is not the business of men but that of God.
The process should not be determined by human ambition or popularity, but according to God’s divine will and eternal purpose (Psa. 75:6-7). He chose David over Saul despite societal expectations (1 Sam. 16:7). Let us not make leaders by human calculations or expectations. Let us accept those whom God has chosen by divine appointment and revelations. We must be careful not to assume positions which God has chosen us for.
PRAYER POINT: Lord, deliver me from presumption and grant me grace to accept your choice
