1 Kings 4: God gave Solomon wisdom

Rev. Peter Schmidt, pastor of Beautiful Savior, Waukesha, WI joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 1 Kings 4.

The author gives us a whole list of Solomon’s cabinet as he led all of Israel. A wise leader understands that they can not do it alone, but God provides people around us to use His gifts to His glory. God also gave Solomon wisdom to understand all of His creation (proverbs, songs, cedars, hyssop, beasts, birds, reptiles, and fish). We can do the same today. To be life-long learners of His creation, remember that all righteousness, redemption, sanctification, and wisdom is found in Christ. “Heavenly Father, grant us Your wisdom to humbly learn and teach the truths of Your creation, knowing that in Christ we have the fullness of wisdom now and forever. Amen”
