Solomon knew stuff. We google everything.

Solomon gets crowned king and in 1 Kings 3 God basically hands him a blank check. Ask for anything. Riches. Revenge. A Costco sized hot tub. Solomon thinks for a second and asks for wisdom. And not just any kind of wisdom, the kind of wisdom that makes people really nervous. The kind where folks mutter wise ass under their breath and he smiles because they have no idea how right they are.

The wild part is that Solomon does not ask for the thing everyone expects. He does not ask for power or status or a life that looks impressive on social media. He asks for the ability to see straight in a crooked world. To choose well. To discern truth when everything feels loud. That is real wisdom. The kind most of us pretend to have while running around like a confused squirrel trying to manage seven crises at once.

Maybe wisdom is not knowing everything. Maybe it is knowing enough to ask God for help before your life becomes a highlight reel of questionable decisions. Wisdom is not confidence. It is clarity. And true clarity comes from God.

Questions for the Week and Strong:

1. What wisdom are you asking God for even though you already know you are going to ignore the first two answers?

2. What part of your life could improve instantly if you stopped taking advice from your panic and started taking advice from your Bible?

3. What situation could be fixed today if you quit crowdsourcing discernment from people who also do not know what they are doing?

This Week in Prayer and Adult Supervision:
Lord, I want wisdom but I also know I should not be left unsupervised. Guide my choices before I commit to something insane with full confidence.
