Is love the greatest wisdom?

1 KIng 3:16-28 Now two women who were harlots came to the king, and stood before him. And one woman said, “O my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth while she was in the house. “Then it happened, the third day after I had given birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together; no one was with us in the house, except the two of us in the house. “And this woman’s son died in the night, because she lay on him. “So she arose in the middle of the night and took my son from my side, while your maidservant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. “And when I rose in the morning to nurse my son, there he was, dead. But when I examined him in the morning, indeed, he was not my son whom I borne.” Then the other woman said, “No! But the living one is my son, “And the first woman said, “No! But the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” Thus they spoke before the king. And the king said, “The one says, ‘This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one’ ; and the others says, ‘No! But your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’” Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king. And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other.” Then the woman whose son was living spoke to the king, for she yearned with compassion for her son; and she said, “O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him! “ But the other said, “Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him.” So the king answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him; she is his mother.” And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.

You have God’s love in you when, you accept Jesus as your Savior. He comes to live in you, and He is God’s love, manifested in the flesh. Jesus came to give us an example to live by. As we follow His example our wisdom will be like Solomon’s. Solomon had God’s divine wisdom, it allowed him to know that, the Love that came from within someone, and the love of someone that is in you, will always make the wisest decision. The love the woman had for the child, she new to be hers, was willing to give him up so that he could live.

God’s love for us gave us His Son. God knows that when Jesus comes to live in us, and we line our will’s up with His, the wisdom of God will come from within us where Jesus is.

When love comes from within us, when it is what we know is the truth, and we want it to live, and we are willing to pay the price whatever it is to see that love live, we will know that love is the greatest wisdom, and that wisdom is within us.

When Jesus lives in you, God’s wisdom, and love, is in there also. Trust in it for each decision you make.
