To be a worthy man in present of the Lord

1 Kings 1:28-53
David took an oath, "As surely as the Lord lives. who is delivered me out of trouble, I will surely carry out today what I swore to you by the Lord, the God of Israel: Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne in my pace."
Servants of David said to David "As the Lord was with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon to make his throne even greater than the throne of my lord King David!"
When all Adonijah's heard this news all guest rose in alarm and dispersed. Adonijah in fear of Solomon. Solomon said : If you shows himself to be a worthy man, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground; but if evil is found in him, he will die."
Why?
Adonijah is outmanoeuvred. Solomon is made king initially co-regent with David.
David remember the Lord delivered his life out from trouble, he obeyed what he swore to the Lord.
Blessing is somehow may come true. The nation of Solomon even greater than throne of David.
A worthy man : Who is a honest man to the king, valuable to others.
How?
Am I a worthy man before the Lord?  May the Lord guides my way forward and I will follow his commandment.
