Hi Wonderful Parents!
This week our lesson is about Solomon...his request for wisdom and the first example of that wisdom. Our passage is 1 Kings 2:1-4 and 3:3-28. In chapter 2 David charges Solomon to follow all of Gods rules and reminds him of God's promise to keep David's family on the throne. In chapter 3 we are told that Solomon showed his love to God by following His rules. Solomon went to Gibeon to sacrifice to God (the Israelites were not to do this anywhere but Jerusalem yet God seems to overlook this and many Israelites did this...it was a kind of middle ground between idol worship done by other nations on high ground and worshiping the True God.) God appears to Solomon in a dream and tells him to ask for whatever he wants (notice God doesn't say He will give it to him but I'm sure God knew his answer). Solomon asks for wisdom to rule God's people wisely and God blesses him with more. Then we are shown Solomon's wisdom when he settles a dispute between two mothers. Please read and discuss these verses with your children and teach them God' love. We will use this story to show the youngest ones that God teaches us. We will show the older kids that God gives us wisdom. May God bless you week in a special way! Mr. Chuck Comments are closed.
