Solomon in prayer to Jehovah: "Give your servant, therefore, an understanding heart to judge your people and to distinguish right from wrong." . . . The Lord was pleased that Solomon made this request. So God said to him: "Because you have asked for this--not for a long life for yourself, nor for riches, nor for the life of your enemies, but for understanding so that you may know what is right--I do as you have requested. I give you a heart so wise and understanding that there has never been anyone like you up to now, and after you there will be no one to equal you."
Solomon the righteous and shrewd instantly recognized that understand and knowledge of what is, and what it is comprised of, and to be able to identify flawlessly what is right and what is wrong--these rare gifts are the basis for leading a life very well lived.
Like Solomon, ask God for an understanding heart, and all other blessings will follow for you like they did for Solomon.
