Daily Bible Reading – September 2022: "God’s Renewing Word of Wisdom"Sample

September 14 Introduction Two women approach Solomon, seeking his judgment. Each woman had given birth to a child, but one child died. Both women claim to be the rightful mother of the living child. Scripture Reading 1 Kings 3:16-28 Today’s Key Verse:1 Kings 3:28 When the people of Israel heard of Solomon’s decision, they were all filled with deep respect for him because they knew then that God had given him the wisdom to settle disputes fairly. Reflect How did Solomon determine which of the two women was the rightful mother? How did his decision demonstrate that his wisdom was a gift from God? When parents today divorce or separate and custody issues need to be resolved, in what ways can you or your community of faith be supportive in such circumstances? Pray Lord God, by your wisdom, guide me in whatever decisions I face today. May all I say and do give glory to you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading 1 Kings 4:20-34: Solomon’s kingdom and his reign are prosperous.
