The best way to solve problems

1 Kings 12:18-24
Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David. Rehoboam mustered the whole house of Judah - a hundred and eighty thousand fighting men - to make war against the house of Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam.
But this word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God: "Say to Rehoboam king of Judah, and to the whole house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people. Do not go up to fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Go home, everyone of you, for this is my doing."
People try to fight to reign the kingdom by his way, but the Lord has his way. If we do not follow the way of God, there will be fail and lost more!
The division is permanent, with a constant state of hot or cold war between the kingdoms. Only in the reigns of Ahab-Ahaziah-Joram in Israel and Jehoshaphat-Jehoram-Ahaziah in Judah was the breach temporarily healed through a marriage alliance. And that resulted in the near-extinction of the royal house of Judah at the hands of Queen Athaliah.
Why?
At that moment people of Judah obeyed the word of the Lord, and feared the Lord. Even the king Solomon turn away from the Lord. So when the word of God is coming, they listened and do not flight against Israel.
God's word bring peace and comfort!
God's word bring wisdom and give us the way to walk when we are in trouble or do not know where to go.
How?
Obey the word of God is the best way to live and have peace in the world. It is the best way to resolve problem.
