Then they spoke to him, saying, \u201cIf you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, grant them their petition, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">But he forsook the counsel of the elders <\/span>which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who grew up with him and served him. So the king did not listen to the people; for it was a turn of events from the Lord, that He might establish His Word, which the Lord spoke through Ahijah\u2026\u201d So we see that even when one does not adhere to the right counsel; the Lord\u2019s way and spoken word always prevail.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">All through the Scriptures we have an admonition from God\u2019s chosen people who have gone before us to give reverence, obedience, and thanksgiving to the Lord\u2019s ways for His right due. It has been my greatest privilege to have this same message passed down to my heart from God\u2019s Word, and to pass it on to everyone I possibly can, while I still have the time and the ability to do so.
