1 Kings 3:1–15

The Generosity of God and the Gift of Wisdom

When Solomon is given the opportunity to ask God for anything, he humbly requests wisdom to govern his people well. Pleased with his request, God not only grants him unparalleled wisdom but also riches, honor, and the potential for a long life. This passage highlights the generosity of God, who gives abundantly beyond what is asked. It also serves as a reminder to seek God’s wisdom in our own lives, trusting that He provides for His people out of His limitless grace. True wisdom begins with recognizing our need for God and relying on His guidance.
