The Value of Wisdom

May 14, 2023

When Solomon became the king, he knew he was not ready to lead God’s people. But God did—God knew Solomon would know what to do at the right time.

God told Solomon he could ask for anything. Solomon asked God for wisdom.

God was pleased with Solomon’s choice. From that day, God began to help Solomon learn and become wise so Solomon could make good choices and decisions.

King Solomon wrote many wise sayings called proverbs. The sayings were about things to do and things not to do. Solomon’s proverbs are in the Bible.

One proverb is about wisdom. [Wisdom means you know something, but even more, you know how to use what you know for good.] Solomon said, “Being wise is better than having a lot of money or jewels. Nothing is better than having wisdom from God.”

Solomon’s proverb says that people who work and are honest will have what they need. God will bless them.

“The wise person remembers what he has learned and does the right thing. A wise person says words that are loving, not hurtful or bitter,” said King Solomon. “The wise person forgives people who wrong him.”

“God’s way is the best way,” said Solomon. “Those who love God and act wisely will have joy.”
