Seeking Wisdom

According to Webster's dictionary, wisdom has three different definitions. One version states that wisdom is the accumulation of philosophic and scientific knowledge. Another that is is the ability to discern inner qualities and relationships and the third explains it simply as good sense.

Looking in Proverbs, King Solomon states that wisdom includes receiving words of insight, prudent behavior, just and fair behavior, and knowledge and discretion to the young. King Solomon was known as the wisest because when given the choice to have anything in the world that he wanted from God. He chose wisdom. Through wisdom, he did remarkable things for his people. However, it is clear from proverbs that he though teaching them was was one of his goals.

In the next couple of weeks, I'm going to look at Proverbs in an effort to study God's word. Please join me as we learn about Wisdom from King Solomon.
