There were a number of people through history who were considered wise. Of these was the biblical figure of Solomon. His father King David had pleased The One True God Jehovah in many ways because he was a man after His own heart. David wanted to build a great and beautiful temple to the worship the Lord in, but the Lord said no let your son build the temple. you have been a great warior and your hands are to bloody. So build a great house for the linage of King David, and pile up the best of materials and precios metals and jewels For your son to build my House Of Worship.
Then when Solomon was finally anointed as king and ready to take on the job, God ask him in a dream what he wanted of Him, what do you think he ask? 6 And Solomon saith, 'Thou hast done with Thy servant David my father great kindness, as he walked before Thee in truth and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee, and Thou dost keep for him this great kindness, and dost give to him a son sitting on his throne, as [at] this day.7 And now, O Jehovah my God, Thou hast caused thy servant to reign instead of David my father; and I [am] a little child, I do not know to go out and to come in;8 and Thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people, whom Thou hast chosen, a people numerous, that is not numbered nor counted for multitude,9 and Thou hast given to Thy servant an understanding heart, to judge Thy people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?'10 And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath asked this thing,11 and God saith unto him, 'Because that thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thee many days, nor asked for thee riches, nor asked the life of thine enemies, and hast asked for thee discernment to understand judgment,12 lo, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given to thee a heart, wise and understanding, that like thee there hath not been before thee, and after thee there doth not arise like thee;13 and also, that which thou hast not asked I have given to thee, both riches and honour, that there hath not been like thee a man among the kings all thy days;14 and if thou dost walk in My ways to keep My statutes, and My commands, as David thy father walked, then I have prolonged thy days.'
All of the book of Proverbs are written by Solomon. There are 31 proverbs one for each day. It would be a search for wisdom and knowledge to read one each day with your other bible reading each day and ask God daily to give you the wisdom and knowledge of SSolomon to apply to yourevery day life needs, and chalanges.
Proverbs 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.14 For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold.15 She (wisdom) is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.16 Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.19 Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens.
Sounds like what we all search for regularly, Long Life - Riches & Honor - Plesent Ways - Peaceful - happiness. These are the things that follow those who find God's Wisdom, & Knowledge.
Proverb 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
May the blessings of our Lord Jesus, who has paid the ultimate price out of pure love for you and me, thank God(ness), be upon you and youurs until we meet again.
Brother John
