2 Chronicles 1 - Wisdom First: How Solomon Started Strong

What would you ask for if God offered you anything? In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we explore 2 Chronicles Chapter 1, where young King Solomon makes a surprising choice: instead of asking for power, riches, or revenge, he asks God for wisdom. His request not only sets the tone for his reign but reveals deep lessons about leadership, motives, and priorities.

We unpack the significance of Solomon’s worship at Gibeon, his heartfelt prayer, and God’s remarkable response. More than just a history lesson, this story challenges us to reflect on what we’re truly seeking in life—and why. Alongside commentary and modern applications, we’ll consider what it means to start from a place of humility, prioritize wisdom over wealth, and leave a legacy of purpose.
