Mon. 1 Kings 10: 1-13 Solomon and the Queen of Sheba
When are you tempted to try to impress people?
I am tempted to try and impress people when I am playing a sport or trying to act as mature as I can at a grown up party.I always want to be seen as the girl who is great at volleyball,very mature for her age,and a great Christian.In this passage the Queen of Sheba visits Solomon.The Queen of Sheba was overwhelmed with Solomon and all of his achievements.She was so overwhelmed that she gave King Solomon120 talents of gold,large quantities of spices,and precious stones! All this happened to Solomon because the Lord God covered His grace over him.The Lord surely deserves to be praised and most definitely honor.

Thurs. 1 Kings 3: 16-28 Solomon Solves a Problem
In what current situation in your life do you need God’s wisdom?
I always need God's wisdom when it comes to girl drama. He is the only person who can tell me exactly what the right thing is to do in that sort of situation.In this story two prostitutes came to Solomon and he had great wisdom. Both of the prostitus had just given birth to a baby but woman#2 lied about having an alive son when it was really dead so she took woman#1's baby for herself. While they were fighting Solomon told his servants to take a sword and cut the baby in half but woman#1 said no please give it to the other woman instead of harming that child. Solomon then knew the baby belong to woman#1 and she got her child back. All this happened because God gave Solomon wisdom.

In this story Saul disguised himself.Samuel's ghost appeared to him and gave him the news that he would be where he was the next day.This frightened Saul.A ghost like Samuel's could be considered ''occult practices.''God does not like magic and things of that sort so He wants us to stay away from it.
