 Whenever you are asked to answer a riddle, you need wisdom and knowledge in
order to answer it correctly. You need to think very well to not only guess so that you
can give the exact and correct answer. Today, you will hear the story of a king who
asked God for wisdom and received it.

GOD’S WORD FOR MY WORLD

The people of Israel had a new king. His name was Solomon, Solomon loved the
Lord very much just like his father David. He was very young then, so he did not
know how to lead the whole kingdom.

One night, the lord spoke to Solomon in a dream, God said, ‘’ Ask whatever you
want Me to give you.’’

Solomon answered, ‘’ You have been very kind to my father David, because he
was faithful to you and hones in heart. Now you made me king in place of my father.
But I am only a child. I do not know what to do as the leader of these people who are
too many to count. Please give me wisdom and a wise heart so I can lead these
people in the right way, because no one can rule them without Your help.’’

 God felt happy that Solomon had asked for a wise heart. ‘’ I’m so glad you have
asked for wisdom and not for money or great riches. Now I will give you wisdom and
a wise heart so that you will become the wisest king on earth. I will give you also
riches and honor even if you did not ask for them. And if you follow Me and obey My
commandments like your father David. I will give you a long life..’’ God said to
Solomon.
God gave Solomon wisdom and knowledge of all things. Solomon’s wisdom was
greater that all the wisdom of other kings of the earth. All the kings of the earth went
to King Solomon to ask for help whenever they had problems.
