            Discuss Solomon’s Wisdom 

                 One night God told Solomon that he could have anything that he wanted. He could have wealth or fame or anything. Solomon asked God for wisdom. God was very pleased with Solomon and he gave him wealth and money. Solomon was very wise. One day 2 ladies came to his father and fought over a baby. They both said that they were it’s mother. Solomon’s father David again was very wise so he asked them to bring him a sword. He said “So you both say that you are the mother of this baby? We can just cut him in half and you can each have one half.” One of the ladies said “Ok lets do it!” but the other said “No No, You can have him I don’t want him to be cut in half.” And then David knew who the real mother was. That made David also intelligent he was good at solving problems. And he knew a lot of stuff. Solomon was David’s son Solomon came from a line of wise people, but they also made bad choices too. 

 

How can you apply this to your life?

I can apply this to my life because I need to trust in God and when people are wise it was a gift from God. People need God in their life. Or it is hard to live.
