Wisdom Gained and Lived Out

This morning I read in 1 Kings 3:16-4:34. It was just after Solomon asked God wisdom. Solomon had then a time to use this wisdom that God had given him with deciding who the baby boy belonged to. Then Solomon delegated, with wisdom, his administration responsibilities. He did not try to do everything himself. God allowed Solomon to gain wisdom and wealth which he had not actually asked for. The one thing about wisdom is you may have it but that does not actually mean you will apply it to your own life. I have been given the revelation of God through His Word. It is as though I have the mind of God in my hands. If I do not put it into practice in my daily, moment by moment life I will be no better than if I did not have it. I need to study God's Word and then live it out!
