1 Kings 3-4

Unlike those of the Old Testament we are blessed to know Jesus personally. We have wisdom that is observable, learnt and applied through scripture. And just like Solomon, it is within our ability to apply wisdom in corporate society, church and most difficultly our vulnerable space (home). 

Based on the gift each one has received, use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God. - 1 Peter 4:10

I try to remind myself why daily quiet times are an essential, I could have knowledge and be wise beyond my years but still eventually cripple my relationship with God. This lesson is what stands out to me most of Solomons life. He would eventually write the book of Ecclesiastes which some depressing but necessary verses "life is meaningless, life is nothing without God etc". Solomon was wise, but he still succumbed to the flesh and popular thought/convenience, and later regretted it. Let this be a lesson to me to continue striving for God in times of convenience and inconvenience, the essence of Good biblical stewardship.
