“He Has Grasped The Horns Of The Altar…”
“Now Solomon was told, “Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, and behold, he has grasped the horns of the altar [seeking God’s protection], saying, ‘King Solomon must swear to me today that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’” 1 Kings 1:51 (AMP)
Today we come into the generations of King David, the scripture tells us that David has grown old and weakens. During this time one of his eldest sons, Adonijah assumes rule as King, but he is stopped by the prophet Nathan. After Solomon was anointed and appointed King over all Israel, Adonijah is afraid, the scripture says, Now Solomon was told, “Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, and behold, he has grasped the horns of the altar [seeking God’s protection], saying, ‘King Solomon must swear to me today that he will not kill his servant with the sword.
Today as we take a moment in our prayers, we are encouraged to take and grasp the horns of the altar, because we know in doing so we are seeking God’s protection, today we know that our enemies are afraid because of God. Let’s continue in prayer, let’s continue at the horns of the altar as the Lord leads us in His work and service, because he has grasped the horns of the altar!
In His Service,
