1 Kings 4:31 (NKJV) 31 For he was wiser than all men\u2014than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.<\/p>\n

Solomon was shown tremendous favor by God in many ways.<\/p>\n

One of the most well-known is the wisdom that God imparted into him.<\/p>\n

It is important to remember that Solomon was young when he became king over Israel, taking over for his father, David.<\/p>\n

Historical accounts estimate he was 20 years old when he assumed the throne.<\/p>\n

Despite being an adult, Solomon knew he lacked the proper experience needed to rule over God\u2019s people wisely.<\/p>\n

And he had the humility to admit this when God came to him in a dream.<\/p>\n

1 Kings 3:9 (NKJV) 9 Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?\u201d<\/p>\n

This request from Solomon pleased God. And He granted Solomon\u2019s request, making him wiser than any man who had ever lived.<\/p>\n

The wisdom given to Solomon was not conventional intellect. It was heavenly wisdom imparted to him solely by way of God\u2019s spirit.<\/p>\n

God will work in our lives in ways like this. He is still the same God!<\/p>\n

We may not be ruling over kingdoms. We may not be seated on a throne or in high positions of earthly power, but we each have a path God has appointed us to walk. And that walk may sometimes require that we have understanding well beyond our natural abilities.<\/p>\n

God gives us wisdom for our daily lives through the Holy Spirit. It is there for the asking.<\/p>\n

All we are required to do is take the time and make the effort to seek Him, listen to Him and follow what he shows us to do.<\/p>\n

He is as faithful now as He was in the days of Solomon.<\/p>\n
