Kings & Prophets
Solomon
King of Wisdom
Discernment
Scripture (NIV)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
Message
Solomon asked for wisdom instead of wealth, then learned that wisdom must be lived, not just admired. Knowing the right thing is only half of it.
Practice
Take one decision you are weighing and ask: what would love and wisdom do here, not just what is easiest?
Prayer
Lord, give me wisdom for today's decision and the courage to act on it. Amen.
Lived out
Short practices that fit Solomon's virtue of discernment.
A practice to try
One verse carried all day
“Instead of reading three chapters and remembering none of it, I take one verse and carry it. I say it at the sink, in traffic, in the lift. By evening it has stopped being a sentence I read and started being something I actually believe about my own life.”
TRY TODAY
Choose one verse this morning and repeat it at three fixed points in the day.
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”
Psalm 119:11 (NIV)
