Godgiven wisdom

God said to Solomon that he could ask for anything and God would give it to him. Instead of asking for a long life, wealth, fame or victory over his enemies, he asked for supernatural wisdom to lead God’s people. God was blessed by this. (1 kings 3:1-28)

Today, I’m up early meditating on God-given wisdom. I’m asking God for wisdom, a supernatural wisdom to lead God’s people. Feel free to join me in this prayer. The good thing about asking for wisdom is that you know your prayer is 100% going to be answered! (James 1:5)

Here’s some verses where God talks about the power of supernatural wisdom. Take time to mediate on these:
