I was reading my devos this morning and was reading from two amazing books written by Solomon, Ecclesiastes and Proverbs. Now we know that Solomon was a man. A powerful man because of his position of King. His father was King David, man after God's own heart and mom was Bathsheba. So, Solomon was probably a good looking guy who hopefully loved God as much as his dad. He was smart too. He asked for wisdom and he got it.
The great thing for us living in the 21st century is the fact that he didn't just keep all this wisdom to himself or his people. God used Solomon to share wisdom with people throughout the ages. Recommendation? Ask for wisdom and read a Proverb a day. There are 31 chapters in Proverbs so you can read the whole book in a month if you read one chapter a day.
"Summing it all
up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating
on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious-the
best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not
things to curse." http://bible.us/Phil4.8.MSG
