Give twefore thy 8ervant an
understanding Mart to judge
thg people, that 1 mag dIscern
between good and bad.
-1 Ki. S: 9.
Solomon's choice pleased Jehovah
God because It acknowledged
him as supreme. It
showed that Jehovah is the
only proper source of understanding
and that Solomon was
a servant who wanted to serve
him faithfully and that the
people who were to be judged
were Jehovah's people. This
wise choice sets the right
course for all His servants to
follow, and it foreshadowed the
correct course that their Lead-
er, the faithful and true servant
of Jehovah, would take.
Moses the prophet also manifested
exemplary meekness and
looked to Jehovah for understanding
and direction, and for
this the Lord God used Moses
mightily. (Num. 12: 3) However,
the greatest example we
have in seeking understanding
and in applying it is, of course,
Jesus of Nazareth. By not
seeking his own will he did not
mar his wisdom and understanding.
"Christ Jesus ...
has become to us wisdom from
God." (1 Cor. 1: 30, NW) We
do well, therefore, to give particular
attention to the example
he has set for us. W 5/1
