1 Kings 3:4-15 Solomon’s prayer and God’s answer
Solomon’s prayer for Wisdom
Think of the wisest person you know (no name) and tell us what makes you think they are wise.
1 Kings 3:4-15 Solomon’s prayer and God’s answer
V9 Why did Solomon ask for Wisdom?
What did God think about Solomon NOT asking for riches and honor?
Matthew 6:28-33 – Jesus is describing what our priority in prayer should be.
How does Jesus tell us to pray? With what priority?
What can we learn about how not to pray from both of these passages?
1 Kings 3:16-28 2 Prostitutes and 1 baby
In this case, was justice done?
What about the liar? Why wasn’t she punished?
Solomon’s wisdom required an investment of his time. If he had been unwilling to take time to hear this case, he would have missed the opportunity to demonstrate his wisdom.
What kind of investment is required of us to demonstrate wisdom? (time, emotion, effort, energy)
V12 (Solomon the wisest ever) We will not be as wise as Solomon, but with the wisdom we have, how can you and I demonstrate wisdom?
1) Get it from God
2) Put the priority on God’s kingdom
3) Invest in others
4) Face circumstances with compassion
