One Baby, One Sword

In 1 Kings 3:16-27 King Solomon is approached by two women who had babies. One baby died, one lived and they were arguing over who's baby was still alive. It was brought to Solomon's attention and He asked for a sword and offers to divide the baby in half. Solomon knows who the mother is as one woman says to cut the baby in half and the other would rather give up the baby than have it hurt.



It makes me really think about the things I cherish in my life and the value I place on them. The things we hold on to (like the woman who would take half a baby) end up loosing in the end but the things we submit are given back to us. We have to trust He will always provide. He will always give what we need. He will always be our strength and our portion. note the commonality is not us but HE. HE is everything and that is all we need to know.

So friends. This message is clear and concise: Stop holding on to it: whatever it is. submit it to the Lord and let Him bless it and bring it to you.  If you hold on to it you might end up loosing it or you might not receive the greater blessings God has in store. Just trust Him and continue to ask Him to show up and let Him do the rest!
