Wisdom and Knowledge

Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?

2 Chronicles 1:10

God told Solomon to ask for anything he wanted and he would receive it. Solomon asked for wisdom and knowledge. He asked for wisdom and knowledge to lead God's people. As king, he was to lead God's people and he wanted wisdom and knowledge to be able to do so. Solomon had been brought up the son of a king and he probably had a pretty good education. However, to face the task of leading the people, he was humble and turned to God to help him lead the people. I've been at my current job for a long time and at least according to those I work with, I'm pretty good at it. However, in my job as well as in everything else in my life, I must daily humble myself before God and ask for wisdom and knowledge. If I start to think that I can do it on my own, I am being a fool. May I be like Solomon and depend on God for wisdom and knowledge and thereby bring glory to Him.
