Day 149 of Heart Dive 365. I'm your Bible study friend Kanoi. Welcome to the Heart Dive podcast.

Welcome back to Bible study friends. Today we are seeing King David's son, Solomon. His kingdom will be

established today. And with that comes a little bit of cleanup

operations that he has to do. And we'll be reading from the ESV by Crossway Translation. But before we

begin, if you are a BSF, a part of the heart die fam, a Bible study friend, can please hit

that thumbs up button. That's the like button that helps to tell YouTube that people who come here to watch

these videos every single day actually enjoy it. So it seems like about 2,000 of you out of 15,000

actually enjoy it. We're not so much concerned about the numbers. It's more so your way of

partnering with us and saying, you know what, I think that this would be a good Bible study

for people who are searching Bible study in the search bar.

It's just the way that the algorithms work. It's part of technology. And so we are definitely trying to do our best, put our best foot forward, to do things with excellence.

And so that is our way of imploring you to do the same.

Subscribing to the channel also helpful. And if you want to know when the Bible studies come out every day, just make sure you've got that notification bell on. And if you want to join us in conversation, in any of our small groups that we have online, you can join us in our Facebook group. You can find that link in the description box or the show notes. But if you are new here, make sure to check all that stuff out too, but you can also go to our website, heartdive.org, to find out what we are all about. Lots of information there, frequently asked questions, our statement of belief, we've got extra resources for you. And of course, if you have any questions, make sure to type those in the comments below. We've got a wonderful community here who loves to help you out. Otherwise, we're going to go ahead and pray and get into God's word today, starting a new book in First King. So Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. Thank you for your mercies that are new every single morning. We thank you that we have a fresh start with you every day, Lord, no matter what we have done in the past however many days we've been alive. As long as we are coming to you with a true

heart of repentance, Lord, no matter what we have done in the past, however many days we've been alive.

As long as we are coming to you with a true heart of repentance and honor and love and fear,

we know that we have that grace and that mercy at our disposal to cover us for everything that

we've ever done, everything that we will do in the future.

But I just pray that we never come to a place of complacency, Lord, where we think that because we have that free gift of grace upon our lives, that we can do whatever we want and live however we want. So we just ask you now to reveal to us if there is anything that is hindering us from being able to live in that life of abundance and that full life that you have for us, we don't want to be held back from

that Lord, and we know sometimes it is our own selfish desires and will that will keep us from

being able to walk in that fullness. We thank you, Holy Spirit, for the work that you were doing in

our lives and the way that you're changing us. You've already made us a new creation when we

were saved, Lord, but you want to continually
