Enlarge your perspective, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“King Solomon answered his mother, ‘Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah?’”
(1 Kings 2:22)

Solomon was appalled at his mother’s request, Jesus.

Had he granted it, it would have cost them their lives.

So why did she make such a foolish request?

One possibility: She wasn’t thinking.

But of course, that can’t be true.

She was thinking about one very small part
of a much larger picture

which, embarrassingly,

is what I do all day long.
