When Solomon became King of Israel, he knew he did not have knowledge and wisdom to properly rule his people. So what did he do? He went direct to God Father and asked Him for His knowledge and His wisdom to rule people. He admitted his weakness in this area and was not afraid to press in and start asking God for His knowledge.

So what did God do when he asked Him for His knowledge to help rule his people? God did not meet him halfway - He met him all way! As you will see in two verses I will list below - God tells Solomon because he did not ask for long life, riches or death of his enemies for himself - but just asked for an "understanding heart" to judge his people and help with discerning between good and evil - God tells him that He will give him a "wise and understanding heart."

But then God takes it one more incredible step further. He tells Solomon that knowledge and wisdom that will be given to him will be like what no man has ever had before him and what no man will ever have after him! In other words - God will make this man smartest man in God that has ever lived, and that there would never be another man in course of human history that would ever have knowledge that he would be given.

Just stop and ponder on what an incredible thing that this was - to have been given so much knowledge and wisdom direct from God Himself - that no man would ever be his equal in this gift!

Then God goes one more extra step in order to put icing on this man's cake. He then tells Solomon that since he did not ask for riches for himself - but just for knowledge of God to rule his people - that he will now be given incredible riches and honor to go along with knowledge and wisdom to rule his people. Then God adds final touch on riches and honor he will be given - telling Solomon that there shall never be another king like him all days of his life and that he will surpass all kings of earth in "riches and wisdom." In other words - God ends up making this man smartest and richest man in all of earth at time that he was living!

If Solomon was really not asking God for wealth and riches - but just for knowledge and wisdom to rule his people - why would God go so overboard in blessing this man with this kind of wealth - especially if he was not asking for it and possibly not even desiring it?

You'll see that God is always right and that man is always wrong when two are on opposites sides of fence. A perfect example is abortion issue - where you have people who are pro-choice and their arguments versus people who are pro-life with their arguments. From God's point of view - it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see who is on wrong side of fence on this issue.

As you will see in two verses I will list below - Bible tells us that wisdom of this world is "foolishness with God." Since God is all-perfect in His being and in His knowledge - that obviously means that God is always right and man and world is always wrong when they are not on same page. So first thing you will need to get worked into you is that God, all of His ways and all of His knowledge is always right. You will really need to ground on this because wisdom of world can be very enticing at times. You will be tempted into believing what world has to say instead of believing what God is trying to tell you is right.

Our young teenagers are constantly battling this reality. They are constantly being tempted and enticed to get into drugs, heavy drinking and pre-marital sex. If they have not been grounded in Word and in their faith from a good Christian upbringing by their parents - they can be easily swayed to enter into some of this dark side activity.

You will start to see difference between God's knowledge and how He likes to operate versus business world in general. Many in corporate America are constantly pushing envelope trying to get as far as they, get as much as they can and not caring who they run over and hurt in process. The almighty dollar is their god and they will do anything and everything to make more of it. Many Christians get sucked up into some of these unscrupulous practices and thus end up going against God Himself by some of shady things they end up doing.
