In what ways can your actions reflect God's wisdom to others? Wisdom on Display in Solomon’s Court 1 Kings 10:4: “When the queen of Sheba observed all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,” • Architectural design showed ordered excellence. • Household administration revealed thoughtful care for people. • Offerings at the house of the LORD underscored worship-centered priorities. • The atmosphere itself testified that true wisdom is visible, not just spoken. How Visible Wisdom Works • God’s wisdom translates truth into tangible, everyday choices. • Consistency across big and small details forms a pattern people notice. • Observable wisdom draws onlookers toward God, just as the queen was drawn. Carrying Solomon’s Example into Today • Excellence in work – complete tasks thoroughly (Colossians 3:23). • Order and planning – steward time and resources well (Proverbs 21:5). • Generous hospitality – open your home and heart (Romans 12:13). • Servant-hearted leadership – elevate others before self (Mark 10:43-45). • Visible devotion – guard rhythms of worship (Hebrews 10:24-25). Scripture Echoes • Matthew 5:16: “Let your light shine before men so that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” • James 3:13: “Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” • Proverbs 3:3-4; 1 Peter 2:12 Everyday Practices that Shine • Speak truth with grace; refuse gossip. • Keep promises; reliability mirrors God’s steadfastness. • Handle conflict patiently, slow to anger (James 1:19-20). • Use possessions as tools for blessing. • Guard purity in media and conversation. • Offer continual thanks, turning routine moments into worship. |
