So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.”

28When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.

Lord God my Father,

Own my spirit and give me discernment to speak only when you inspire. Keep me quiet and calm in my thoughts and allow your wisdom to guide me in all relationships.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
