Today’s passage: 1 Kings 3:16-28
Helpful thoughts:
- The great King Solomon was willing to take the time to hear and give his attention to two prostitutes arguing about their illegitimate children. That sentence is written in a harsh way to make a point…
- The greatest is the one who serves. (Luke 22:24-27)
- When we see ourselves correctly, we will be happy in our service.
- This judgement from Solomon was made known to the nation. When they considered Solomon as having wisdom from God, they respected him and his position as king.
Questions to consider:
- What did the people desire in their leader? What did they believe Solomon was going to provide in God’s wisdom that put them at ease under his leadership?
- How did Christ model service for us? How far did He go (Philippians 2:3-11)? Who might you be able to serve today that others would overlook?
