"Tell Me My Fortune Rather than My Faults" I Kings 14-15; Luke 22:31-46

King Jeroboam, full of contempt. 
A dad with a dying child. 
Disguises his wife and sends her to the blind prophet. 
"Will my child die or live"? 
Wait. 
What about this---what about saying: 
How could I help my child, dear man of God? 
Will you pray for my child, dear man of God?
How could I deal with my own heart as I sit in a lonely frigid dark chamber?  

"It would have been more pious if he had desired to know where God contended with him.
It would have been more pious if he had begged the prophet’s prayers, 
more pious if he had cast away his idols.
Maybe the child might have been restored to him---as his hand was. 
Some people would rather be told their good fortune rather than their faults or their duty." 
I Kings 14:4

Deal with your own hearts always.                                                                                                      We will help you and pray you find God on your path. May those closest to you tell you the truth.
