1 Kings 4:31-33
For he was wiser than all other men, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol, and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. He also spoke 3,000 proverbs, and his songs were 1,005. He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of the wall. He spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of fish.
Tag: God Enables Us to be Wise
Harvard can make you smart and popular and even famous, but only God can make you wise. Yale, Oxford, Universities and schools of all type can make you have knowledge above all others but ONLY God can make you wise. Note Solomon’s own words:
Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
Solomon asked for wisdom and God gave it him. God gave him wisdom. When he received the wisdom it had fruit that the world would see. God does not give us gifts to keep them in secret. God gave Solomon the gift of wisdom to use in his leadership. That give overflowed to the world around him. When God gives us grace, and He does, we are to use it, in all areas to the fullness of our ability to honor Him. It might take us in a number of different directions. But, the gift is still to be used for God’s glory, no matter the platform of use.
