1 Kings 10:3 (ESV Strong's)
And Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing hidden from the king that he could not explain to her.
Tag: God Provides Wisdom
Solomon had asked for wisdom from God and God granted wisdom to him. That is a sure and true promise from God:
James 1:5-6 (ESV Strong's)
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
Proverbs 8:1-6 (ESV Strong's)
Does not wisdom call?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
On the heights beside the way,
at the crossroads she takes her stand;
beside the gates in front of the town,
at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:
“To you, O men, I call,
and my cry is to the children of man.
O simple ones, learn prudence;
O fools, learn sense.
Hear, for I will speak noble things,
and from my lips will come what is right,
Proverbs 9:10 (ESV Strong's)
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
God provides wisdom to all who want it. They must fear the Lord, since that is the beginning of wisdom. But, if we cry for it and ask God for it, we will receive it. Wisdom is not that knowledge that comes from being alive a long time. Godly wisdom is insight about human nature and our life on earth and about the knowledge of God that ONLY God can provide. Leaders needs wisdom and wisdom is provided by God to those who come to Him in faith. This is what Solomon did in his early life. God granted him wisdom and he, in turn, blessed those around him.
