Making Smarter Choices!
"I have given you a wise and understanding heart,
so that there has not been anyone like you before
you, nor shall any like you arise after you."
1 Kings 3: 12
Sadly, we don’t always make wise decisions in life.
No one does, but few of us do something as foolish
as a thief in
Nashville.
He broke into a residence and stole a TV and a gun, among
other items. But he accidently left behind his
notebook listing
all the other houses he was robbing. Furthermore, inside the
notebook his daughter had written her name and
address.
It didn’t take long for the authorities to locate him.
None of us are going to
get
very far if we perpetually
make foolish decisions.
As a young man Solomon knew that even the privileges
he enjoyed in life, his royal position, his famous father, his
nation’s support, and his great goal of building the temple
wouldn’t get him far without wisdom. He recognized he was
like a little child in comparison to God and His knowledge.
So are we! Like a child asking a father,
let’s ask our Savior for practical, every
day, common sense wisdom—the kind
that will take us far in life.
"God gives us wisdom when we
seek His knowledge and under
standing instead of relying on
our own."
