They both were living in the same house and they both had new born babies. One night when they were sleeping one of the babies died. So the mother of the child switched the babies. The mother of the alive child woke up and he was dead. Later, she realized that the dead child she had wasn't hers. So they went to the king and he said to bring him a sword. He ordered them to cut the child in two. The real mother of the child pleaded for her baby's life. The other said if I can't have him then neither can you. Split him in half. Solomon had the wisdom of God and gave the real mother her living child.

Joab knew that the king’s heart was for Absalom,so Joab sent someone to Tekoa and had a woman brought from there. He told her to pretend you are in mourning,dress in mourning clothes, and don’t use any makeup. Act like a woman who has spent several days crying for a lost loved one. Then she was ordered to go to the king and say what Joab told her too say. She went to the king and fell face down before him and said "Help me king." The king asked what was troubling her. She answered "I am a widow, my husband is dead." She told him that his servants had 2 sons and they go into a fight in the field and there was no one there to stop it. And that one hit the other and killed him. Everyone was going against the one that killed his brother. They want to put him to death. :(

When I have family conflict, I am usually not in it because I am the only child. Whenever I am at my dad's house there's a bunch of conflict. The way I handle it is to try and talk it out and then ask What Would Jesus Do.

Mon. 1 Samuel 25: 1-42 David and Abigail: Today's Scripture is 1 Samuel 25:1-42. This passage talks about David, Abigail, and Nabel.

Samuel has died and Israel mourned him. David heard that Nabel was shearing sheep. So he sent 10 men to greet him in his name and to tell him "Long life to You". When David's servants arrived to Nabel and gave him the message, Nabel asked, "Who is this David?" And he alsop asked why should he take his bread,water, and meat that he had gathered for his shearers and give it away to men that he doesn't know where there are from or where they were going. God keeps me from making mistakes in life by either sending an angel to help me and guide me on my way or he speaks to me through someone or through the Holy Spirit.
