2 Chronicles 11
When Rehoboam want to fight against Israel to get back the kingdom of Israel, God told him that it was not His will through His man, Shemaiah. It did not easy to obey the word of God that is different from the thinking of Rehoboam. However, Rehoboam listened to the word of God. He and his army obeyed the Lord’s command. They turned back and did not attack Jeroboam. Because of Rehoboam's obedience, God help him to strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and made his people support him.
When we are faced with the same thing as Rehoboam, what shall we do? Do we obey the will of God that is different from our thoughts? Are we willing to sacrifice our pleasures and our ego to obey God's Word? Do we believe that God is always right and follow the guidance of Holy Spirit?
When we obey, God will lead us to victory after victory, glory to glory, and miracle after miracle. The key is to focus on God. When we focus on God, we will be able to obey God's Word.
"For God is pleased when, conscious of His will, you patiently endure unjust treatment. Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you. For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in His steps." 1 Peter 2:19-21 (NLT)

1 Kings 1-2
Adonijah has the desire to be king. He equipped himself and celebrated himself as a king. However, all his efforts is failed because God wanted Solomon became king of Israel. Because God wanted Solomon became king of Israel, then no one can failed it.Nothing can happen outside of God's will. Whatever our efforts, if it's not God's will, then it will be failed. But if it is the will of God, then no one can failed it. God is sovereign over our lives. Everything that happens in our lives is permitted by God.
When we know and do the will of God, then nothing can failed it. When we understand what God wants in our lives, then all our efforts will be successful and meaningful.
"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." Romans 12:2 (NLT)
There are two ways to understand the will of God according to Romans 12:2.
First, the life that reflects God's children. Have a holy life and live based on God's Word.
