Scripture: 1Kings (NIV) 4:29 God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.

Observation: Solomon’s wisdom was readily acknowledged by all who came to him including leaders of other nations. It was evident by his wise judgments and writings.

Application: As I marveled over the great wisdom God gave to Solomon, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to think that what I have received is so much better than what was given Solomon. I do not just have wisdom; I have the source of wisdom! The fountain of all wisdom lives in my by His Spirit! Wow!!!
1Corinthians (NIV) 1:30 It is because of him [God] that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, you blest Solomon with wisdom, but you blest me with your Son! Help me appreciate what I have been given. Holy Spirit, reveal the wisdom I need for today! Amen
