History - Old Testament
S - Scripture
1 Kings 3 v. 16 Then the two harlots came to the King and stood before him.
O - Observation
God delivers in his way. This verse is the beginning of God revealing his promise to Solomon, that he would be the wisest man ever. So, instead of Solomon just heading to the biggest issue of the day and flexing his newly provided wisdom, God instead sends him the interesting dilemma of the two whores. Trailer trash. Both claimed that a child was theirs. Both said that the other woman's child died at night while sleeping/nursing. An unsolvable riddle. But, this was God's way of revealing his promise to Solomon. Solomon rendered judgment on who's child it was that was logical and true. The whole kingdom heard the results and where amazed. Read 1 Kings 3. Fast forward several hundred years. God delivered his promise of Salvation. Jesus came to be a King. But not an earthly King, not just for the Jews, but for Everyone.
A - Application
Do I get frustrated when things don't go the way I want them to? Can I let go of my agenda and follow God's agenda?
P - Prayer
Jesus, You are in control. I will follow. Love Will
