Day 98 | 1 Kings 3–4 — A Little Child Asking for Wisdom — Solomon’s Request and the Judgment of Two Mothers | Bible in a Year

Given the chance to ask God for anything at all, a young king doesn't ask for wealth or longevity. He asks for wisdom to lead well. The test comes almost immediately — two women, one surviving child, and no way to know who's lying — until a single proposal to divide the baby exposes exactly who the real mother is. Under wisdom like that, an entire nation just gets to be ordinary again: eating, drinking, living in peace.Here we consider humility, wisdom, justice, and the quiet miracle of a kingdom finally allowed to flourish.
