David's Last Words

Last week we looked at 1 Kings 2:1-4 which is the beginning of David's last words to Solomon. These are some powerful words, in particular "show yourself a man". I don't think the definition of a man is the same today but as we talked we agreed on boldness, courage and Christ-like leadership.

David goes on to tell Solomon to obey God and keep His commandments. Obviously that meant that Solomon had to know God's commandments in order to keep them. Where did Solomon learn them?

Some of our discussion dealt with not waiting until our death bed to have this kind of conversation with our kids and practically how do we make that happen on a regular basis. But we also talked about leaving our kids with some last words. Given technology today, what would be the best way to do that?

What are your thoughts? Let the rest of us in on what you are thinking about these things.

Blessings,
Roger
