1 Kings 3:1-15

The Gift of Wisdom: Choosing What Truly Matters

The text of 1 Kings 3:1-15 centres around the profound theme of wisdom, as illustrated by the story of Solomon’s request. After Solomon becomes king, God offers him the opportunity to ask for anything he desires. Instead of choosing wealth, power, or a long life, Solomon asks for a discerning heart to govern his people with justice and righteousness. This request reflects Solomon’s deep desire to understand and follow God’s will, rather than seeking personal gain.

God is pleased with Solomon’s choice, granting him not only wisdom but also wealth and honour, making Solomon one of the most celebrated kings in history. The passage emphasizes that true wisdom is rooted in humility and a deep relationship with God. Solomon’s story encourages readers to seek wisdom that aligns with God’s priorities, allowing them to live wisely and make the most of every opportunity to serve God’s kingdom. The text concludes with a reflection on the importance of seeking God’s guidance in navigating life’s challenges, ultimately leading to a life that reflects His grace and righteousness.  IL-WOONG.
