1Chronicles 11

Read this this am , struck by

• rejection of the Levites by Jeroboam
• hand of God in judgment on the state of the people "this thing is from me"
• the later blessing in the life of Rehoboam leads to pride and judgement from God

Any time affluence enters into the soul, the love of the world, where the love of the Father is not, leds to loss in the life of the Christian.
