The most important thing of all as revered in perspective is how you live before The Lord. The Lord promised Solomon that his kingdom would be established forever if he lived before Him as his father David did.2 Chronicles 7:17-18 [17]As for you[Solomon], if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do all I have commanded you, and observe My statutes and My ordinances, [I Kings 11:1-11.]
[18]Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.
So living before the Lord is more important than how one lives before men.
The priority of an individual’s life should be their divine purpose.
Justification in one’s actions is found in how they live before the Lord and so the example set by David serves as the standard for living before God.
The relationship between a father’s spiritual walk and a son’s promise is significant.
