Notes About The Poem

Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to change your people and to distinguish right from wrong. 1Kings 3:9

Pray For Wisdom

King Solomon prayed
Asked for Wisdom to help his people
He asked for an understanding heart 
The ability to know right from wrong

So he could improve our modern day conduct
Our world is often driven by excessive greed
Narrow-minded selfishness
We would do well each day to pray for wisdom

Not just knowledge but wisdom
Knowledge can accomplish much good
But also used to harm and destroy
Wisdom lives not only intellect but in the heart

Wisdom is precious
The more we have the better the world will be

Jeremy Street April 20, 2014 at 7:05 PM I Do Believe Apart From Love That 'Wisdom' Is A Torch Above All Else; At Least Amid This Age Where In We Live ? Yet, As HIS KING Once Did Speak: The Spirit Is Willing But This Flesh Be Weak....Thus, Without, 'Divinity's Blessing,' Wisdom, Shall Waste Upon Their Paths ? Truly, 'GOD,' IS Ground Zero Towards Any Hopes Or Dreams, In Which Any Of Us May Have....Love, Jeremy
