(3.5 min read) Do you know the story of Solomon and the two women fighting over the one child as each’s own son? One aspect of the story is to show Solomon’s wisdom that the Lord has just granted him just a few verses earlier. We’ll touch on another aspect a bit later.

I would imagine, that like me, your response is “Awwwww the real mother wanted the child alive so she chose to give her own son up to the other woman rather than see her child die split in half.”

But can you really relate to this story? Can you actually put yourself in the shoes of the actual mother?

                GIVING UP YOUR OWN SON!!! …………………. And why??

                                Cause someone else, the other woman has alleged that it is her own child!?

Why is the ‘other’ woman making such allegation??
She just lost her own son! He was smothered and died…… How would you describe her?

Devastated…. Angry….. Shocked…… Overwhelmed……. Stunned

There is no proof or DNA tests available so we have two sides of the story and Solomon has to either believe one or the other!!!

Consider you and I right now…….. today……. We are faced with allegations of widespread election fraud. One side says “Look, here are the State election results. The winner is clear!”

And the other side says “No, no, no, ‘they’ cheated, it was rigged. In reality we won by a landslide, ‘they’ have stolen the election! It is not fair.”

What would Solomon do right now???

The sad thing is, you and I are Solomon right now……… It would have been easier if a man of God entrusted with the Lord’s wisdom would just decide that we’d ALL have confidence in, but there is no such person right now that we ALL have confidence in.

But we are indeed presented with two scenarios;

1. Facts
2. Allegations of the facts in #1 are lies

For over two months the allegations have had their day in court, through 6 States, all the way to the Supreme Court….. twice. And ALL courts have rendered decisions that these are just allegations.

Why are so many people still supporting the allegations??? Actually, putting all of their faith into for behind allegations???

The answer, in the words of those loudly opposing the election results; “Due to the unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, we must object to the 2020 election results!”

Solomon listened to the mother saying; “He will not be mine or yours. Cut him in two!”

I am asking you, yes you, to stand there with me in the crowd around Solomon. Do you hear the passion avid fervent eager voice of that mother!?

Solomon listened to the mother saying; “Don’t have him killed. Give it to her!”

I am asking you, yes you, to stand there with me in the crowd around Solomon. Do you hear this mother’s tear-filled weak feeble defeated voice of this mother giving up her son!?

Would you, the Solomon of today, accept allegations simply based on the louder brasher hastier voice??

Would you just say “there’s just too much unprecedented allegations of fraud!?”
Remember, they still are just allegations. Louder does not make them real…..

Two months so many judicial processes so many different States………. And they are still just allegations

What will you, today’s Solomon, award the child to!?

Remember, at the beginning, Solomon’s wisdom was one aspect of the story? The second aspect is;

1Kings 3:16 Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.

Other translations use ‘harlots’ instead of prostitutes.

Why do you think in such a sensitive story does the Bible bring in ‘prostitutes’ to contest in front of the Judge instead of just ‘two mothers’?

Lord God Creator Maker Father, I humbly ask that as I worship you and seek you for guidance as well as seek you for justice, that I realize that I myself prostitute myself for this and for that purpose. Yes, I do for my idols are everywhere and I do lend myself to them. Yet, You my Lord take me in hold me tight and love me and accept me REGARDLESS. Help me Lord lessen the idols in my life. I love You and thank You for Your forgiveness and Your love. Amen.
