Wisdom for LeadersНамуна
Wisdom Requires Trust
Having acknowledged publicly and privately that God had appointed him and prepared him to be king, Solomon demonstrates his trust in God by asking him for wisdom. At this time in his life, Solomon’s heart’s desire was to behave in a manner consistent with being a child of God. God granted Solomon’s request for wisdom.
We read in Proverbs that Solomon discovered that Wisdom wasn’t far away, but was standing in the street corners. Solomon learned that all he had to do when faced with a choice was to humbly trust and obey what Wisdom was saying.
Today, we would say that Wisdom is calling out in the lobby of every office building, store, restaurant, and transit stop. Like Solomon, we as leaders need Jesus to touch our ears so that we can hear what Wisdom is saying. Then we need to trust that the things Wisdom is speaking to us about will bring joy and peace in our lives and in the lives of those we lead.
About this Plan
As a leader, where do you turn for wisdom? In this devotional series, we will be studying passages about King Solomon. We will see that wisdom starts with worship and requires humility, trust, and curiosity. Wisdom that comes from God will be a blessing to those we lead and will bring glory to our Father in heaven.
