1 Kings 3:9
"Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?"
Wisdom, discernment, understanding. The name Solomon is synonymous with these qualities. The "wisdom of Solomon" is a term used as often as the "patience of Job".
An interesting exercise is to insert your name into one of those and see how accurate a term it would be. For instance, the "wisdom of (your name)". What am I known for with regards to character?
Solomon's request and prayer to God should be echoed in our own hearts. Solomon writes in Proverbs of how God blesses the wise and how the foolish have nothing but sorrow. Our choice, when viewing these two options becomes quite obvious.
Am I asking God for wisdom? How would I see that manifest in my life when God answers my prayer?
