Wisdom. We know we need some to navigate life properly, or successfully. But do we possess wisdom?
Tucked away in the Old Testament we find a king. King Solomon. Solomon was fully aware of his own inexperience to lead the nation, the nation’s greatness, and the great responsibility now placed upon him to lead them.
When, in a dream, God asks him what he would want, Solomon responds:
“Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”
(1 Kings 3:9, NLT)
A most simple request, and yet we are told:
“The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom.” (1 Kings 3:10, NLT)
Wisdom.
We still need it to live and make right choices today. It’s a necessary ingredient in leading our families, in our places of work, and in our churches. Solomon humbly recognized his need to understand the people around him to lead them well and make the right and just decisions.
