Is the Bible About Man?

Here are your passages today?

• 1 Samuel 16

God gives Isreal a new king.  A king after God's own heart.  What method does He use to choose this mighty king?

What does that tell you about the people that God uses?

• 1 King 2:1-12
• 1 Kings 4:29-34
• 1 Kings 5:5
• 1 Kings 11:6

What do you learn about David's son from these passages?

• Finally, read Ecclesiastes Chapter 1

This passage is written by Solomon, probably at the end of his life.  Look at your list of Solomon.  He had wisdom, fame, fortune, and women.  At the end of his life what did he think of it all?

Solomon messed up big time for God to say what He did in 1 Kings 11:6.  But I do believe he turned it around because of verses like this one:

• Ecclesiastes 12:14

Add all this to your timeline and don't forget to reflect on the pattern of mankind that we see throughout history!
