How is coming *boldly* before the throne different to just coming? Is it about never being put off by our own weakness or disqualification?

If the exchange between God and Solomon was all a dream, how active was Solomon’s role in asking for wisdom or was it all God?

If Solomon had great wisdom and discernment gifted from God, why do you think he didn’t see behind the persuasions of his wives to turn his heart to other gods? and more…

How did God use the imagery of the temple to point back to the separation of man from God in the Garden of Eden, and forwards to the tearing of the curtain – when God allowed access to Himself once again through Jesus? Revelatory, and freeing: We have access to God, because the temple curtain was torn when Jesus paid the price for our choices to go our own way. In coming back to Jesus, and choosing to submit to His authority, we discover the freedom of a relationship with God – where we are forgiven, healed and made whole again.

Solomon honours his father, King David, by choosing some of his father’s team to continue under his administration. In our context, it’s good to honour the wisdom and revelation that’s come before us.

Who are we investing in, in the coming generations?

But God chooses to use people who don’t always make good decisions, and Solomon was one of those. For example, Solomon chooses to appoint someone who rules over forced labour – something which ultimately broke up the Kingdom.

Solomon got so much right, acting with great wisdom – and yet he still got so many things wrong. The same can be true of us…

Solomon realises that he doesn’t know how to fulfill his calling, and so in verse 7 asks for God’s wisdom. How might this play out for us, in our own lives?
