KING SOLOMON
1 Kings 2–3
Kevin's Commentary
You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:
- Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. I praise You for Your great wisdom, Lord. You are such a wise and good God, and You share Your wisdom with me.
- Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
- Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. If God promised to give you anything you asked for, what would you request? Why? What are some right, and wrong, motivations for prayer?
- God is ... What do we learn about God?
- We are ... What do we learn about people?
- How would you answer if God said to you, as he did to Solomon, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you”? Be honest!
- Solomon asked for and received great wisdom from God. What are the greatest sources of wisdom in your life? Who is the wisest person you’ve ever known? Why do you say that?
- Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. Write on a piece of paper the 3–5 greatest sources of wisdom in your life. Reflect on how you can add to them or increase the wisdom you gain from current sources.
- Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Show me, O God, how I can gain greater wisdom, not for my sake but for the sake of those around me.
