1 Kings 3:24- 26 and 26 Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. 27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

I saw a Latino woman pull her little son’s hands closer to her as she passed in the aisle along side other Latino people meaning stay out of harms way.

Then I saw a white woman tell her child to come here and the child said no! she said come here again,the child said no and walked the other direction. “I said to myself” yes indeed let that would have been me saying no no no, that would have been the biggest whipping I ever caught in the store in front of people.

Because In life it’s imperative to know that good things will happen to us and even bad things happen to us too sometimes. And whether we are righteous or whether we are wicked. The bible says the rains falls on the just as well as the unjust. And unfortunately in life we have to endure some unpleasant things sometimes.

I heard a song the other day that brought back memories. The song was “Everybody play the fool sometimes.” no exceptions to the rule I ain’t lying.

Listen brothers and sisters sometimes it rains on you and you don’t have an umbrella and sometimes it’s windy and rough and debris is flying all around you and sometimes it gets all in your eyes and can cloud your vision. And sometimes people do us some un-wanted, un- warranted, undeserved, and un-merited things.

And get this, Brothers and sisters it might be more tolerable to be punished when you do something wrong. You kind of expect it coming, you know? but when you’ve been doing right and wrong shows up on your doorsteps, and you have to say “Houston!” we have a problem!

And as we listen to the tint tone and timbre of the title of the text 50-50 The Good Mother and the Bad Mother. I conclude that this is a test of Moral character , this is a test of ethical character and this is a test of spiritual character . And these same tests are what’s at stake in out country today. Yes it is… I was riding down the bayou a few months ago and I saw a sign that said I so glad that my mother was Pro-Life. It hit me like a ton of bricks. And I said what if my sweet old mama would have said she didn’t want to have any children. It would have been Sorry Little Allen she doesn’t want you. And if one of the mothers in this story had her way that’s the way it would have been.

The story goes that there were two prostitutes who share rent together. They doubled up on their housing because if hard on a single working girl that’s out there all alone. Verse 17 Says that they got a house together.They were hustlers. They were woman of the day and the night. And the bible says in verse 17 that one got pregnant then the other got pregnant shortly there after. Believe it or not that’s common. If you have a baby your sister is going to have a baby, your girlfriend is going to have a baby etc.. So both women are pregnant and they both have their babies. That sounds about right, both have the natural maturation period until there is a natural child birth. There wasn’t no pain medication or epidural process no no no Women had to endure the travail and pain of natural childbirth.

They tell me it’s quite a painful ordeal IDK. But it must be because when my wife was having our first child, she grabbed my hand during labor and it sounded like she was possessed.. She said you did this to me. Go get my mama. She squeezed my hand so tight until I made high pitched sound and I said “I’m so sorry” When she turned my hand a loose the nurse said you can go outside for a moment while I give her the epidural. And after I came back in the birthing room she said baby I’m so sorry I acted so badly. I said “it’s alright sugar I love you.” Happy wife happy life!!! Men don’t forget that.

And the problem with my testimonial statement is that in the text where was the daddy’s at>>>> Both women had babies right? Well there should have been at least one man there!He was enjoying the good times, “you know”well he should have been there during the rough times. Right? Because People need you when they need you… And the bible says in verse 18 that in the process of time three days later both women were nursing their babies. And back then the baby would sleep right next to her.

Ok but the bible says in verse 19 that One night one of the prostitutes accidentally rolled over her newborn baby in her sleep and killed the baby. She woke up out of her sleep and realized that she has rolled over her baby and suffocated it to death. “Lord have mercy” 3x It’s a terrible tragedy. Nobody want to have to live with that. Nobody want to say that I am the cause of the trouble. But wait nah her roommate is fast asleep. In fact she sleeping so hard until she’s snoring. Instead of waking her roommate up and saying I rolled over my baby and now he’s dead, She comes up with a brilliantly wicked, sinister, and diabolical plan.

In verse 20 don’t you see her she quite quite quite she moves stealthy, swiftly, and surreptitiously at midnight and takes the live baby and replace the live baby with her dead baby.. The bible says in verse 21 that when the morning light came into the house, the mother of the live baby noticed that the baby was dead.

Her first reaction was probably OMG NO! No ! No! but then as she carefully inspects the baby, she notices that it’s not her baby at all... She says to her roommate “What’s going on here? “what have you done! The roommate says Sorry girlfriend but I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m sorry about you baby but that’s not my problem.

You’ll know in 2023 they would have tore that house down, it would have been some fighting in there. But the bible say in verse 22 they brought the matter before the king. It had to be serious because in order for a problem to rise to the level of seeing the king, it had to be of the utmost importance.

And so the bible says that Both women are standing before King Solomon. And this is King Solomon’s first and most important moment in leadership.

Remember now that when Solomon first became king, In 1 Kings 3:5
the bible says that while Solomon was in Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream and asked Solomon what do you want Me to do for you? Long story short Solomon said in 1 Kings 3:9 9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? In verse 10-13 The Lord was impressed with Solomon that Solomon didn’t ask for riches or fame or power or the death of his enemies. And so the Lord granted Solomon with great wisdom great knowledge and great understanding. That’s why King Solomon wrote in Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding but in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths. Ladies and Gentlemen, Brothers and sisters, Christian Friends, well wishers and Saints of God I know I’m smart but nobody knows everything about everything and since God is the ONLY one that exhibits Omniscience then I’m smart enough to rely on God’s wisdom and not my own.

And the woman in the text says in essence let’s let the king settle this matter. All of this back and forth and forth and back. King Solomon will decide.

The bible say both women are standing there before King Solomon with the live baby claiming that the baby is theirs.The bible says in verse 17 that the real mother began to tell the king the whole story. She said in essence King we are both prostitutes and the trouble all started when we both got pregnant around the same time. We both had our babies. It was a happy home then. We were getting along and everything. But on the third night king, she accidentally rolled over her baby and suffocated it to death.
The real mother said King I sleep hard, I didn’t even hear the baby cry. And king she took my baby while I was sleep and put her cold dead baby next to me. In verse 22 The other woman said no I didn’t. Your baby died and now you want to fool the king. They started arguing back and forth. He’s my baby no he ain’t yes he is no he ain’t. And in verse 24 King Solomon said Hush up! I heard enough. I heard enough 2x. Guards go get me a sword. I know what to do 50/50 what? I’ll split the baby in half. 50% for you and 50% for you. In verse 25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

In verse 26 The fake phony false mother said “fine cut him in half. She won’t have him and I won’t have him either. Misery loves company. The bad mother is already hurting now she wants her roommate to hurt just like her. Nobody gets to have a baby!!! I lost mine you gon lose yours.

And the real mother hollered out wait a minute king 2x Don’t kill him, Not my baby king.. King Solomon give her the baby. I’d rather her have my baby than to see you kill my child with a sword. King I carried that child nine months in my tummy. “Let her have him!” Oh Please king let her have him. At least if she have him he’ll still be alive. Please king let her have him. Our theme text say in 1 Kings 3: 26 Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. 27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
In other words king Solomon said Ok Give her the living because she’s the real mother. This story reminds me of how important life is, how precious life is and how beautiful a little baby can be to it’s mother.

I’m sorry the father was not present. and too many times in life children have to grow up without their mothers and fathers being together. And sometimes they have irreconcilable differences. It’s not the child’s fault. Sometimes he just doesn’t want the responsibility. Sometimes both are too young and immature to handle the seriousness of having a child. What ever the case God knows all about it and God will provide for you and the baby because He’s Jehovah Jireh the Lord our Provider.Lastly the bible says in 1 Kings 3:28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment. Happy Mother’s Day.
