Historical Background
The book of 1 Kings was written by an unknown author after the reign of King Solomon, around the 6th century BCE. It was written for the Israelites to understand the history of their kings and God's involvement in their lives. The cultural setting was one of a divided kingdom and the rise of idol worship.
Living It Out Today
Just like Solomon, we can make choices that please God. When we seek wisdom in our decisions, especially in leading others, we align our desires with God's will. Think of a time when you needed to make a wise decision at work or school, and remember how seeking wisdom can lead to positive outcomes.
