You see, the challenge that we face is the same as Solomon’s. It’s the same as every person to ever walk this planet. Because of our sinful nature we do not see the world rightly; we do not understand its very purpose. Therefore, we don’t know how to live or think or love or suffer in the way God has designed us. But in Jesus we are made wise and can now abide in His wisdom. Our passage shows us this morning just how desperately we need Him for right living. We see that Jesus alone grants us the power and the knowledge to navigate life as authentic, redeemed children of God.
