King Solomon

I Kings 3:1-15

We are going to be skipping around through various Kings (I think that's what Dad said).

Tonight we read about Solomon who has become King and has taken care of the troublemakers and is doing his job well at this point in his life. God asks Solomon what he would like for God to give to him and Solomon answers that he may be able to discern between good and evil.

Then there is the story of the two women and their babies, with the one dying, and both claiming the living baby as their own.

Dad pointed out how Solomon started so well. He loved the Lord, was humble, and asked for wisdom as he governed. How tragic, dad said, if at this point in his own life, he turned his back on the Lord, after all that God has done for him with giving him a wife, a family, a home, a job and blessed him so richly. Our spiritual walk must continue. Our past shows God's faithfulness and how strong He has shown Himself in our lives. This of course was all in response to knowing that Solomon didn't stay faithful or close to God.
