words

Solomon had been given a gift from God to hear beyond people’s words.
He saw further than the eyes could see.
The two women, who came to him with their problem in I Kings 3:16-28,
both spoke. Their words meant very little until the sword was brought
into the situation. Now the truthfulness of their stories would be tested.
The real mother expressed her love for her son. The other woman just
continued her play with words.
Solomon used her style. He said things that didn’t really connect with
reality. He was not planning to divide the baby in two.
Words without the truth are a dead end street.
Words mean very little without a lasting value. If the words continue to
have the same meaning, they have power.
God has a long term plan. Doesn’t he?
It’s amazing that today we use the same words as Solomon, David and
Abraham did.
We use the same words, even though we speak in a different language.
With these words we can plant churches. We can have lasting fruit.
We don’t plant churches for the statistics on the earth, but in heaven.
Even when heaven and earth will pass away, these words will remain.
Mt.24:35
