1 Kings 3 - Who's Your Mother

First question that comes to mind this morning, is why are they sacrificing in "high places?" What happened to that huge tent that they carried through the desert?

While at Gibeon(I'm thinking this is the last place the tabernacle was located - but - going to be late for Worship today if I try looking it up) offering sacrifices, God speaks to Solomon in a dream. God grants Solomon his request for the wisdom to know what is right. The chapter ends with the familiar story of the two women fighting over one child. Solomon in his wisdom discerns the woman who will protect the child's life is the mother. He grants her custody.

Who is your mother? Today so many people are raised by people who are not their birth parents. It is confusing for children. They want to be loved by their parents. Who is their mother or father? The ones who love them so much that they will care for, provide for, and protect them.
