GODly Nature

What I read in my BIBLE this morning:
1 KINGS 14:13-25; KJB,
13. And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward THE LORD GOD of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
14. Moreover THE LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
15. For THE LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking THE LORD to anger.
16. And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
17. And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
18. And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to THE WORD of THE LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19. And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20. And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
21. And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which THE LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
22. And Judah did evil in the sight of THE LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23. For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
24. And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which THE LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

What I read in my BIBLE this morning:
1 KINGS 12:22-24; 2 CHRONICLES 11:1-2; KJB,
22. But THE WORD of GOD came unto Shemaiah the man of GOD, saying,
23. Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
24. Thus saith THE LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to THE WORD of THE LORD, and returned to depart, according to THE WORD of THE LORD.
11. And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 But the word of THE LORD came to Shemaiah the man of GOD, saying,

What I read in my BIBLE this morning:
ECCLESIASTES 11:9-12:3; KJB,
9. Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things GOD will bring thee into judgment.
10. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
12:1. Remember now THY CRATOR in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
2. While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
3. In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
