Summary
Through Emma Dotter’s own personal story from high school, we see the power of Solomon’s request for wisdom. Solomon’s stunning humility in asking for wisdom resulted in life change for not only himself, but also for other people. By reminding God of his own past acts, believers have a pledge of him to come through on present needs.
James 1:2-8, “If any of you lacks wisdom.”

| 0:00.0 | Reading our Bibles regularly can be a challenge, but we're all on this journey together. |
| 0:05.8 | We're praying that this podcast inspires you, helps you better understand God's word, and builds |
| 0:11.2 | your faith. |
| 0:12.1 | This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter. |
| 0:17.0 | Thanks for joining. |
| 0:18.2 | Today, we are reading First Kings 3, which just so happens to be one of my favorite Bible passages of all time. And yes, I know that's so random, but here's why. Back when I was a kid, when I was a teenager, I was on the dance team at my high school. In my first year on the team, I very quickly noticed that there was a problem, a big problem. The older |
| 0:39.4 | girls were incredibly unkind to the younger ones. Now, normally in high school, as we all know, |
| 0:45.1 | seniority is a thing. The upperclassmen wear lettermen, they get special privileges. It's |
| 0:49.9 | really fun to be a senior in high school. But this was different. Girls would be standing in line |
| 0:55.1 | to get on the bus to go perform at a football game and older girls would come up, aggressively |
| 0:59.5 | catch them by surprise as they pushed them out of the line, shouted seniority and laughed as the |
| 1:04.7 | younger girls stumbled out of the line, tripping as they went. It was mean, it was bullying, and stuff |
| 1:10.7 | like that happened all the time. And it |
| 1:12.5 | really drove me crazy in a holy, deep down in my heart kind of way as I knew this wasn't how |
| 1:19.6 | God wanted his image bearers to be treated. I just saw hurt everywhere. So as any Jesus-loving high school |
| 1:26.4 | girl would, I thought, I'm going to apply for an |
| 1:28.9 | officer position on the dance team, and I'm going to make this better. I can affect change. I can do it. |
| 1:34.0 | I was a very ambitious sophomore in high school. But so I did. I applied for officer. I got the |
| 1:40.1 | position. I was second in charge. A senior was our colonel until she wasn't. Due to some |
| 1:46.1 | medical issues, she had to leave the team. So as an underclassman, I was promoted to head girl. |
| 1:52.1 | And in all honesty, again, as any high school girl would, I thought this was the end of the world. |
| 1:57.4 | Because the whole reason I tried out to be an officer was because of these |
