Wisdom gives ability to meet needs, invite others to Godliness, and advocates for justice.
1 Kings 3:1, Solomon married Pharaoh daughter, worshiped God and other gods (1 Kings 3:2-4)
He talks with God in a dream, God asked what do want. As an inadequate leader, Solomon asks for wisdom and God grants his wish and more (1 Kings 3:5-15).
- he didn't ask fior a platform, or honour.

- What defines wisdom? Wisdom is the ability to have understanding mind for leadership to discern good from evil. Wisdom gives discernment in the context of conflict, to make decisions. Wisdom gives us an uncommon way of thinking.
- How does Solemn point to Christ? He didn't see the prostitutes as they were, but as they could be mothers. Wisdom allows us to lead in a way that points to Christ.
When all Israel heard the king’s decision, the people were in awe of the king, for they saw the wisdom God had given him for rendering justice.
1 Kings 3:28 NLT
Wisdom speaks of God's glory, advocates for justice.
Wisdom allows us to love while we wait for God to administer the justice
