Thurs. 1 Kings 3: 16-28 Solomon Solves a Problem- Today's Scripture is 1 Kings 3:16-28. This passage talks about Solomon solving a problem. There were 2 prostitutes that came before King Solomon. 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.

I need God's wisdom everyday. I need it with the people I encounter and other things.
