Authority and reverence

S: “When all Israel heard the king’s decision, the people were in awe of the king, for they saw the wisdom God had given him for rendering justice.” 1 Kings 3:28 NLT

“God gave Solomon very great wisdom and understanding, and knowledge as vast as the sands of the seashore. In fact, his wisdom exceeded that of all the wise men of the East and the wise men of Egypt. He was wiser than anyone else, including Ethan the Ezrahite and the sons of Mahol—Heman, Calcol, and Darda. His fame spread throughout all the surrounding nations.” 1 Kings 4:29-31 NLT

“And kings from every nation sent their ambassadors to listen to the wisdom of Solomon.” 1 Kings 4:34 NLT

O: The people saw his wisdom. His God given wisdom exceeded all. He was wiser than anyone else. He had fame and it spread. Ambassadors from every nation were sent to listen to his wisdom. 

In his vast wisdom and understanding he didn't allow arrogance to take over and become prideful, egotistical and arrogant. He spoke in truth with authority and reverence to God like his father. There's no coincidence that out of David's greatest sin God would produce such an heir. 

A: There is no coincidence that out of my greatest sin, God would produce an heir. And although no one will ever have the wisdom of Solomon, I know like Solomon God has given me the ability, the anointing, to speak in truth with authority and reverence to God. The distorted me spoke in fear with authority and no true understanding of reverencing God. Yet in my growth and maturity in this present time, I am developing the wisdom and understanding to be the true Liz. 

P: How great as how awesome are you oh magnificent father?! You wiser tha the wisest man. Prudent is your name. Humility is your name and you have dressed my soul with those characteristics of you. I am no longer the egotistical, scared, fearful and arrogant Liz. You have saved me and given me you kingdom to worship. You have place m unchanging calling over unlike that your will be done in me and through me. My past is a testimony of your grace, not a burden to keep me down. Daily I give all of me, give all me, for I'm yours!!!! Deliver me from the temptation of walking away from a challenge. I give my life to the potters hand! Mold me, use me, fill me, walk beside me. I give myself away to go to a higher level at the potters house. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
