Fri. 1 Kings 6: 1-38 Solomon Builds the Temple
What can you learn from Solomon abut making and carrying out plans?
Solomon built the temple of the Lord during the fourth year of his reign as king of Israel. The word of God came to Solomon as he was building the temple of the Lord that said if Solomon follows God then the Lord will not abandon the people of Israel. Solomon built the temple of the Lord and finished it by making up the sanctuary for the ark of the covenant. The temple had many details and the foundation was laid in the fourth year. I can learn from Solomon about making and carrying out plans because if we don't do like him then nothing will be done unto the Lord.

3Q Week 3 Thursday Bible Reading
Thurs. 1 Kings 3: 16-28 Solomon Solves a Problem
In what current situation in your life do you need God's wisdom?
Two prostitutes came to the palace before the King and one told him that they were together and both had their own son. The main woman that was speaking said that the other switched the babies during the night because that woman's baby had died. They then got in a fight about which baby was who's baby. Then King Solomon ordered to have the living child split in two with a sword to stop the bickering mothers, but the actual mother told the king to give the child to the other one, while the fake mother said to split him in two. Solomon saw who the real mother was and regained the mother with the child. A situation in my life where I need God's wisdom is at school when I pick and choose my study habits.

3Q Week 3 Wednesday Bible Reading
Wed. 1 Kings 3: 1-15 Solomon’s Wisdom
If you could ask for anything, what would you ask for?
Solomon grew an alliance with the pharaoh of Egypt and married his daughter, and brought her to the City of David. Solomon went to Gibeon and offered sacrifices when the Lord appeared and spoke to Solomon in which Solomon asked God for wisdom. The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this and gave Solomon the wisdom he wanted, so Solomon went back to Jerusalem and had a feast with his court. If I could ask for anything in the world, I would ask that my dad and step-mom would somehow find salvation.

3Q Week 3 Tuesday Bible Reading
Tues. 1 Kings 1: 28-53 David Gives Solomon the Crown
When things in your world get confusing, how do you know God is still in control?
David called in Bathsheba and said an oath upon her when she came onto his presence. David told Nathan and Zadok to anoint Solomon King of Israel and bring him to his throne. Zadok anointed Solomon king of Israel with everyone rejoicing, but when Adonijah heard the trumpets and noise he grew afraid of King Solomon when he heard what was going on. I know that God is still in control when things in the world get confusing because he always brings me through the trial and tribulations.

3Q Week 3 Monday Bible Reading
Mon. 1 Kings 1: 5-27 Conflict Over the Throne
What happens when you don’t make good decisions?
Adonijah said that he will be king and got fifty men to run in front of him and Joab's support. Adonijah then sacrificed sheep, cattle, and fattened calves, but did not invite Nathan. Nathan went to Bathsheba to tell her what Adonijah was doing without David knowing it. Bathsheba told David this and then Nathan came to back up what Bathsheba had already said. Usually when I don't make good decisions I get punished for them either from my parents or just in general. I always seem to learn from them though by other things that happen.

3Q Week 2 Friday Bible Reading
Fri. 2 Samuel 18: 1-18 The Death of Absalom
In what situations are you most likely to lose control?
David decided to send out his troops even though his troops said that the people wouldn't care id just half of them were killed. The troops went out and the battle begun between the troops and Israel. Absalom's hair got caught in a tree in which didn't kill him until he was pressured into it. Absalom was struck in the heart and died hanging from an oak tree. I am most likely to lose control in a situation where I am being punished by anyone for no reason at all or someone else's actions. I strongly dislike when I have to take the blame for somebody who deserves the punishment.

Who helps you keep your motives clear?
In this reading Absalom began winning the hearts of the Israelites by doing various things. David heard of this and decided to flee with all of his people from Absalom which made his kingdom weep at the site of them leaving.

I always go to my mom or step dad when I have a problem or need something.

3Q Week 2 Wednesday Bible Reading
Wed. 2 Samuel 14: 1-33 Absalom Returns
How do you deal with family conflict?
Joab had a woman pretend to be a bad-looking widow for the king to believe in. The king gave in and said that he would issue an order in her behalf. The king said as long as he lives the woman's son will live. Joab brought Absalom back to Israel in which he live for two years there without seeing the king's face. After two years he then sent Joab to bring him to the king so he did in which the king kissed Absalom. I deal with family conflict by asking my family to pray as a group together as a family and have discussion. It almost always works out by the time of the next day.

Later David's son became very sick, and on the seventh day his son died without David knowing until he figured it out.

3Q Week 2 Monday Bible Reading
Mon. 2 Samuel 12: 1-12 David and Nathan
Which of your friends love you enough to correct you?
In this reading there was a rich man who wanted to prepare an animal for supper for his guest. He stole the only thing precious to a poor man from him rather than preparing any other animal. David gave orders to kill the man for what he has done, but the Lord came to David with everything that David has done including Bathsheba. I think that I don't have any friend who will correct except for an older friend at my Church. I don't really have a friend that loves me enough to correct anywhere, but my Church.

3Q Week 1 Friday Bible Reading
Fri. 2 Samuel 11: 1-27 David and Bathsheba
When is it hard for you to admit fault?
In this reading David spots a woman bathing whose husband is at war. Bathsheba was her name and David got her pregnant. David sent word to Joab to send her husband to David who got him drunk and put him in front of all the fighting in the war. Bathsheba became David's wife and had a son, but the Lord as not pleased. It is hard for me to admit fault when I'm around people that I want to trust me. Like when I play around with other kids then someone gets hurt, it's hard for me to come clean then.

Thurs. 2 Samuel 9: 1-13 King’s Kindness
What promises need to be kept in your life?
In this reading David's people summoned a servant from the house of Saul, Ziba to see David. Ziba told David where to find Saul's grandson, as soon as Saul's grandson saw David he bowed down to show his gratitude. David said to Mephibosheth that he will granted with all of the land that belonged to his grandfather. David told Ziba that he was to have servants who would farm the land of Mephibosheth as well as himself.

Also a promise that needs to be kept is the promise to always believe in the one true God.

In this reading all the tribes of Israel came to David along with the elders which anointed David King over all of Israel. King David and his men marched to Jerusalem to capture the Jebusites.

3Q Week 1 Tuesday Bible Reading
Tues. 1 Samuel 28: 1-25 Saul and Occult
What kinds of things could be considered “occult practices”?
How would God feel about your involvement in such things?
In this reading after Samuel died Saul had stopped all mediums and spiritists in Israel. Saul set out for a woman who was a medium so he could inquire her. The woman was told to bring Samuel up and as soon as she did Saul asked Samuel why the Philistines were against him. Samuel gave him a whole lecture on why the Lord has done this. After Samuel told Saul this, he refused to even eat. Some things that can be considered occult practices are believing that magic is everything and that anyone can be truly magical and bring people back to life. God doesn't like when we believe in anything other than Him and His teachings.

How does God keep you from making big mistakes?
This Bible reading was about David, Nabal, and Abigail. After Samuel died and David was in the wilderness he sent ten young men to greet Nabal and give him a message in his name.

Nabal died ten days after Abigail told him what she did for David. David made Abigail his wife after he found out that Nabal had died. The Lord keeps me from making big mistakes by putting the thing in my head so I can think about it before I do it.
