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.
