1 Kings 3:16-28
The other woman said, “No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.”
But the first one insisted, “No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.” And so they argued before the king.
Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”
The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, “Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don’t kill him!”
But the other said, “Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!”
When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.
A particularly hard case serves to illustrate Solomon's God-given gift of wise judgment. Where it is one woman's word against another, special insight into human nature is needed to uncover the true facts. The incident also shows the king's accessibility to ordinary folk, even two prostitutes.
Why?
Wisdom is a gift from the Lord, even I need the wisdom to face every day in my life.
Face the argument between men is my weakness, I need God to give me the wisdom to be a manager in my working place.
Identify the motivation and personal requirements are the base, then include the love among them, with the strength of the Holy Spirit. I can face the tomorrow!
How?
Dear Lord, I need the wisdom either, if under your permission please give me wisdom in my life.
