1 Kings 3:16-28

"Then he said, 'Cut the living child in two, and give half to one woman and half to the other!'" v.25
Solomon's settlement of this dispute was a classic example of his wisdom. This wise ruling was verification that God had answered Solomon's prayer and given him an understanding heart. We have God's wisdom available to us as we pray and request it. But, like Solomon, we must put it into action. Applying wisdom to life demonstrates our understanding.
