Where does WISDOM come from?<br />
I Kings 2:1-4<br />
● 1Ki 2:1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his<br />
son, saying, 1Ki 2:2 I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew<br />
thyself a man; 1Ki 2:3 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to<br />
keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is<br />
written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and<br />
whithersoever thou turnest thyself: 1Ki 2:4 That the LORD may continue his word which<br />
he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in<br />
truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on<br />
the throne of Israel.<br />
I Kings 3:9, 10<br />
● 1Ki 3:9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may<br />
discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?<br />
● 1Ki 3:10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.<br />
Job - Why do the righteous suffer?<br />
Psalms - praise through prayer<br />

Ecclesiastes - Solomon with attitude... Ecc 5:18 Behold that which I have seen: it is<br />
good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he<br />
taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. Ecc<br />
5:19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him<br />
power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of<br />
God.<br />
