About this episode
What would you ask for if God gave you one wish? Solomon’s answer changed the course of his life and the nation of Israel. Instead of power or wealth, he asked for wisdom—and God granted it abundantly. In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey unpacks 1 Kings 3–5, revealing the impact of Solomon’s choice and the evidence of divine wisdom in his leadership. From settling difficult legal disputes to organizing the construction of God’s temple, Solomon’s wisdom was evident in every decision. This lesson challenges you to seek wisdom above all else and shows how God generously provides discernment to those who ask. If you need direction in life, this episode is for you.
