Wisdom has been defined as “Insight into the true nature of things.” The Lord granted King Solomon’s request for wisdom to be able to rule Israel justly. This wisdom was apparent to all when he arbitrated between two mothers who disputed over the life of a baby. He determined which woman was its true mother. This wisdom came from God as well as riches and favor.

God gives leaders, especially parents and ministers, the wisdom necessary to perform their responsibilities effectively. God is the Source of wisdom. Jesus IS the Wisdom of God to us. [1 Cor. 1:24]

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, You are the source of wisdom. We receive it through Your Word and the leading of Your Spirit. Jesus, apart from You, we can do nothing.
