Have you ever wondered how to get true wisdom? Here is how NOT to get wisdom:
1) Asking for wisdom only when you think you can't do it. (Trusting your strength)
2) Making a ritual out of asking for wisdom daily. Its not a "good luck charm" when you ask God for wisdom every day just because you always have. God wants a relationship with you. ot to be reduced to a slot machine (put in a prayer, press the wisdom button and out comes wisdom!)
But guess what? He who seeks wisdom shall surely get it from God's ever-supplying hand! Let us see how Solomon received wisdom from God:
At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you." Solomon answered, "You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day. "Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?" (1 Kings 3:5-9)
Notice that Solomon made this prayer at a troubling time. He had been just made king of Israel and the task overwhelmed him. Did he let his worry keep him up at night? I believe that he did seek God's peace at that time, for in the night he was soundly asleep! (Seek God's rest! Don't fret about asking for wisdom)
To desire wisdom from God, we need to humble ourselves and realise that we cannot do it alone. We need to be like children to our Daddy God and expect to receive His provision!
Beloved, God provides the question and the answer for you, if you would only desire wisdom!
