When King Solomon was given the opportunity to ask God for anything, he chose wisdom to govern his people. Pleased with his request, God granted him unparalleled wisdom, which Solomon used to make fair and just decisions.
One of his most famous moments was resolving a dispute between two women claiming to be the mother of the same baby. His wisdom not only solved the issue but also revealed his deep understanding of human nature and discernment.
The Message for Educators
As teachers and administrators, we are often faced with complex decisions—balancing the needs of our students, managing classroom dynamics, and responding to unexpected challenges.
Like Solomon, we need wisdom to navigate these situations with fairness and compassion. Wisdom doesn’t come from having all the answers but from seeking guidance, listening carefully, and relying on God for direction.
Proverbs 2:6 reminds us, “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
Let us approach each decision in our classrooms with prayer, seeking the wisdom of God to guide us as we strive to do what is best for our students.
This Week’s Prayer
Lord, grant us wisdom like Solomon’s to make decisions that reflect Your justice and love. Help us to teach and lead with understanding and discernment.
In your name we pray, Amen.
