The Wisdom of Solomon

"Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5 HCSB).

"God gave Solomon wisdom, very great insight, and understanding as vast as the sand on the seashore" (1 Kings 4:29 HCSB).

After reading these Bible verses, I realize that I can have the wisdom of King Solomon by merely asking God for it. King Solomon was a King of Israel known for having great wisdom. King Solomon was the author of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Song of Solomon, and the apocryphal book the Wisdom of Solomon.

Having wisdom is having good judgment. Having good judgment is necessary for living a successful life. Failure is almost always the result of bad judgment, of making bad decisions. Your life direction is based solely on the decisions that you make in life.

If you ask God for wisdom, assume that you already have wisdom, and regularly envision yourself as having wisdom, then you will be wise. It's that simple.

Wisdom

I think wisdom, do wisdom, and live wisdom.

Today I am affirming, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).

Immediately, I am feeling a transformation. My mind is working more soundly, more wisely. I am making better choices, wiser choices, and less mistakes.

I almost always know the right thing to do at the right time. This applies to all areas of my life: money, work, relationships, recreation, and religion.

I see things more in depth now, with a much deeper understanding.

Indeed, I think wisdom, do wisdom, and live wisdom.
