Wisdom



There are great stories in the Bible that intrigue my curiosity and increase my intellect. One of the Greatest Kings that ever lived bestowed remarkable wisdom and judged honorably. Solomon was unlike any other King before him and after there was none like him. This particular story in reference was about two women that gave birth to children near the same time and one died. Both women went before the King and said that the child was there's and not the other. Solomon then called for a sword to divide the child and in the midst of slicing the child in half; one of the two women spoke up and gave her rights to the other. The story adds emphasis on how the women experienced a great emotion, in which they called it a yearning on inside of her that was more concerned with the child’s safety than of her rights to keep the child. Solomon then gave the child to the woman who was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in spite of her own desire. Decisions and sacrifice go hand and hand, rather often due to circumstance. It’s hard for us to not only want but also feel the need to have or obtain. Some of us feel that we deserve it and never the mind how we will acquire it. Going through life changes, we learn to use wisdom to judge our lives and make unwavering decisions. Wisdom is definitely something you can gain from learning, but how you make it practical, is by applying it daily. You have to make wisdom a daily regime, especially when our understanding is not always clear. The women depended on a King to make the final call, when chosen people know that they are chosen to do great things, they rely on the Kingship or the power that resides within them. Realize now that wisdom can never run out nor suspend itself in time. Wisdom is for those who want and not wish to have.
