* I Kings 3:9-13

9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

King Solomon, arguably the wisest person that ever lived. King Solomon, the author of Proverbs was given the Wisdom of God in droves because when offered an opportunity for one wish to be granted of God, he requested wisdom to guide the people of God. The Lord responded saying: *“Because you asked for understanding to discern judgment…I have also given you riches and honor..." The wisdom of Solomon spread like wildfire, as such, people from all parts of globe sought his wisdom (*I Kings 4:34).

At Wisdom's Weekly, we believe this wisdom is readily attained in the book Solomon left for those following him, Proverbs. We believe that the wisdom provided in Proverbs helps us to better live at peace with others. And that each message is connected to another, meaning that the understanding of one truth helps to better understand the next, like knowing addition before multiplication; as such, at the end of each message other reference message titles are provided to enhance the learning experience.
