For the Children A K ing W ho P rayed for W isdom (1 K ings 3:5-14; P roverbs 4:5-7; 16:20) M e m o r y V e r se : “He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he” (Prov. 16:20 R.V.). Have you ever pretended that someone told you that you could have anything for which you would ask? What would your wish be? Some would ask for long life, some for lovely clothing, some for splendid cars and houses, some for great wealth. For what would you ask? One night, God appeared in a dream to King Solomon, David’s son, and said, “Ask what I shall give thee.” Perhaps you will be surprised to know that Solomon did not ask for any of those things which we have said we might desire. Solomon asked for wisdom to rule God’s people correctly. He felt like a child and did not know how best to lead the Jews. He asked that he might be able to choose wisely between good and evil. Solomon’s request pleased God. As a reward, God gave to the king those things for which he might have asked—long life, riches, etc. God also made Solomon the wisest man in the world. God’s Word, in a proverb written by King Solomon, says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom” (Prov. 4:7). How may we have wisdom? “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Prov. 9:10). He who made our minds and our hearts can best teach them. Our parents, our friends, and our teachers all have their part in helping us to get wisdom, but only those who know the Son of God as their Saviour have true wisdom. God’s Word tells Christians how to live joyful, help ful, Christ-like lives. God’s Word answers many of their questions and solves many of their problems. Through prayer, God gives wisdom and leadership to those who trust in Him. The Holy Spirit is the Teacher who helps us to understand the hard things in the Bible. He gives us wis dom in talking to others about our Lord and in knowing God’s will for our lives. Solomon said, “He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; and whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.” Four deft in 190 7 Bolivian Indian Mision Pacific C oast Council 927 So.
