Read 1 Kings 4-5.
These two chapters provide insights into how Solomon applied
some of the understanding and wisdom that God gave him. In brief, "he was wiser than all other
men" (4:31).
And, he was wise enough to know that with all his skill and
understanding he could not do his job alone.
Solomon chose good and capable people who were organized to accomplish
the work of leading the nation. These
trusted leaders took care of responsibilities of spiritual, financial,
personal, domestic and foreign affairs.
Then, when it came time to construct the project of his
life, he was wise enough to realize he needed a partner. The Temple would need natural resources from
outside Israel. Solomon turned to his
father's friend, Hiram king of Tyre.
Wisdom is displayed-
1. When we realize that we need other people to help us.
2. When we surround ourselves with the right people.
3. When we recognize the need for a special partner for a
particular task.
