Bible talk about wisdom
Intro:
Good morning class and fellow students today I am going to talk wisdom, and how we can use it in our daily life. But first let me ask a question to the class. What is Wisdom? What is the purpose of wisdom? Knowledge guided by insight and understanding. Reverence for God is the source of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). In order to receive wisdom we must ask God for this guidance in our time of need. For example, if we are being pressured by our peers, asking God for wisdom would be the smart choice to make. Wisdom is more valuable than riches and will always guide us towards God never away from him.
Verses
2 Chronicles 1:10-11 “Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?” God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king, wisdom and knowledge are granted to you.
Now I am going to read a story on how Solomon used wisdom in a time of need.
Story
The Judgment

“Then two women called upon Solomon, asking him to determine which of the two of them should be awarded a disputed infant. Both mothers claimed to have given birth to the baby. Since they couldn't decide, Solomon came up with what sounded like a logical idea. He suggested the baby be cut and split between the two women. When one of the women immediately understood that the beloved child would be killed, she no longer cared whether she got to raise him. All she wanted was that he be safe. The other potential mother didn't care: she wanted her piece. Solomon decided the real mother -- or at least the one who should be the real mother -- was the one who would rather give up her child than see it be destroyed.”
In this verse it is clear Solomon used God’s wisdom

    You can gain a lot from knowing a wise person because odds are you will learn from them and pass on that knowledge to other individuals who may need your advice. (Lend a helping hand) Being wise can also gives you an advantage in workplace, at making friends, and helping others. According to Staudinger, you do not need to have all the qualities she listed in order to be considered wise. You only need to possess one of the many areas to be considered wise. Becoming wise is often seen as being a hard thing to accomplish when it’s really not. Wisdom can be achieved through studying, learning from experience, and by passing down knowledge. If Wisdom had a philosophy it would be that you should learn from one’s mistake and pass on that knowledge to others so that they can avoid the same…

    Song of Solomon

    • 302 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Men’s repeated abandonment of women in Song of Solomon shows that the novel’s female characters suffer a double burden. Not only are women oppressed by racism, but they must also pay the price for men’s freedom. Guitar tells Milkman that black men are the unacknowledged workhorses of humanity, but the novel’s events imply that black women more correctly fit this description. The scenes that describe women’s abandonment show that in the novel, men bear responsibility only for themselves, but women are responsible for themselves, their families, and their communities. For instance, after suffering through slavery, Solomon flew home to Africa without warning anyone of his departure. But his wife, Ryna, who was also a slave, was forced to remain in Virginia to raise her twenty-one children alone. Also, after Guitar’s father is killed in a factory accident, Guitar’s grandmother has to raise him and his siblings. Although she is elderly and ill, she supports her children financially, intellectually, and emotionally.…

    In ancient society the ability to make wise decisions in all life’s practical matters was highly esteemed. Ancient Near Eastern wisdom shares the same basic emphasis on practical matters and success in life that one finds in the wisdom of the Hebrew Bible. Hebrew wisdom literature taught people not only how to make good choices in life but also how to make godly choices. Within the Old Testament there is no better example of the practical side of godly living and success than what is found in the book of Proverbs. ( Hinson page 259).…

    Hebrew Wisdom

    • 861 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The book of Proverbs is the Hebrew book of Wisdom. Its purpose is to provide practical instructions to live a wise, well ordered live. The difference between being diligent, wise, lazy, and having folly is knowledge. Proverbs addresses this in its first chapter: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7). This is the most basic ingredient in wisdom. All wisdom depends on knowledge of God and the submission to His will. To think or believe that you know something, but you do not know God negates the value of having knowledge. Wisdom comes from being faithfully diligent in the Word of God.…

    During the time of Samuel, there was no monarchy in Israel unlike the other countries around. The Israelites wanted a king for themselves where they could actually see and hear. They wanted the same protection that the other nations were getting from their kings. Therefore the Israelites asked Samuel to ask God to nominate a king for them. But Samuel did not like the fact that the Israelites wanted a king, so he prayed God for an answer. God said to Samuel in a sad way to let the Israelites have a king since they do not want me as their king anymore. Samuel told the Israelites what God has said and warned them that they would have to sacrifice part of their life for the king. Despite the warning, the Israelites desired a king who would rule them like the other nations.…

    Solomon's circumcision as an infant demonstrates how it is the source that affects his entire life. The scene where Solomon's genital is shown and his nudity elaborates how his identity has been affected through the changes that he has undergone to survive and to satisfy his cravings. This nudity is necessary to depict the joyful Solomon in his bathtub during the opening scenes and to the painful experiences Solomon endures when he tried to hide his identity by trying to fix his genital. This is also a desperate attempt to have Leni for…
