Hi
Solomon also become the wisest king because he ask the most important thing from god that is Wisdom. So if we all claim to be God’s child we should ask from God wisdom with all faith, as from the word of God says, if you lack wisdom ask from GOD who shall give it but with faith and trusting him.
In this world that we live, ” We have to be wise not fool”.
Thank You.
God bless
thanks for the Good work may God increase you.
Wisdom, correction and taking corrective criticism is sometimes hard but sometime to get where God wants us to be, we have close our eyes and accept it so that we can grow. Without wisdom we will be defeated without knowledge we will not understand the word of God.
thanks for this study it will helps stand…
