Adventure 14 and 15

Wisdom. A powerful word. What does it mean to you to be wise?

King Soloman asked God for wisdom, the knowledge and discernment between right and wrong
If you were to ask God for anything at all in this world, would it be wisdom? The world has a different view on wisdom. Where God would see if as discerning between right and wrong, the world has a different view on it. Humbling that a great king would place importance of wisdom compared to riches, success and long life. And in the end God bless him with that as well.

The distorted form of wisdom is between what would benefit us and disadvantage us. It's wise to have a "What's in it for me?" mentality. Instead of values, principals and people being involved, a lot of media now focuses on instant gratification, consumerism and selfishness.

Solomon's wisdom was so well-known, that people from distant lands came to meet with him.We see the early part of his journey, carrying out the legacy of David. The stories of old time, with adventure and kings.
However, then Solomon's love strays away from God. He who married many foreign wives, also went to worship foreign Gods.It makes you wonder how the wisdom of all the ages still could not stop her heart from straying away. It makes you wonder how it came to that, for Solomon who started out so well, to give his heart away.
