After Solomon’s death, God rent the kingdom from Rehoboam’s hands as He had told Solomon He would do, and He made Jeroboam King of Israel. There was a physical civil war between the 2 kingdoms and there was a spiritual civil war in Jeroboam’s heart as he had to choose between the promises God had made to keep him with the voices that told him that the people would return to Rehoboam if they went up to Jerusalem to worship God. As we all struggle with faith versus doubt we have to choose between accepting what we think we see with our eyes and believing and/or acting on the Word of God.
Scripture: 1 Kings 12:25-13:6, Numbers 11:16, 12:1-2, Deut 27:11-18, 28:1-15
