Solomon was endowed with both spiritual and practical wisdom. When we have God's wisdom we will know what to do and how to do it. This will cause us to not only avoid those things that produce destructive results, but it will also help us to engage in those things that produce life and blessings. Wisdom is linked with instructions, so if we are to be wise we must follow the instruction of God written in the Bible. If we ask God to give us wisdom, we will receive not only His wisdom, but the ability to understand.
