King Solomon

Without question, the greatest story in the Bible of someone who sought after the knowledge and wisdom of God and actually received it was King Solomon.

When Solomon became King of Israel, he knew he did not have the knowledge and wisdom to properly rule his people.

 So what did he do? He went direct to God the Father and asked Him for His knowledge and wisdom to rule the people.

 God tells Solomon because he did not ask for long life, riches, or the death of his enemies for himself – but just asked for an “understanding heart” to judge his people and help with discerning between good and evil – God tells him that He will give him a “wise and understanding heart.”

If King Solomon was able to receive this kind of knowledge and wisdom direct from God simply because he asked and really pressed in for it – then what can God personally do for you in this realm if you are willing to expend the time and energy to seek after it?
