Summary
The gift of wisdom that Solomon got resulted in the people he led living in safety. How are we using our gifts? Not in a way to build up ourselves, but in a way to point others to knowing something “greater”, which is the gospel of Jesus. Today, Emma Dotter and today’s devotion writer, Kristen Baker (aka KB) unpack how Solomon’s wise decision to ask for wisdom is something we can do today.
Additional Scriptures used in this podcast:
Matthew 5:13-16, “Salt of the earth”
Hebrews 4:16, “Approach the throne of grace with confidence…”
Micah 4:4 & Zechariah 3:10, “Sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree…”

| 0:05.8 | We're praying that this podcast inspires you, helps you better understand God's word, and builds your faith. |
| 0:12.2 | This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter. |
| 0:17.0 | Thanks for joining. I am in the podcast studio with today's Devo writer, Kristen Baker, or KB. |
| 0:24.4 | Hey guys, happy to be here. So glad you're here, Kristen. Would you, or should I, I should call you |
| 0:29.3 | KB, huh? You like KB? I think that's great. Okay. Okay. Tell me a little bit about you. How'd you |
| 0:35.0 | come to know the Lord and then fast forward what's going on in your life today? |
| 0:38.8 | Awesome. Yeah, for sure. I grew up in a Christian home but didn't fully understand the gospel until a little bit later in life. |
| 0:46.5 | Around middle school, I heard the gospel presented me for the first time at summer camp. I fully realized the weight of my sin. |
| 0:53.6 | And just like John 316 tells us, for God |
| 0:56.6 | so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not |
| 1:00.6 | perish but have eternal life. And going on to verse 17, for God did not send his son into the |
| 1:06.6 | world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. And it was during this time that I realized |

| 1:18.1 | So that was quite a few years ago now, but it's just been such a joy and such a journey, getting to, |
| 1:24.8 | no pun intended, getting to live out my life as a daughter of Christ, |
| 1:30.0 | fully recognizing my own sin and at the same time fully recognizing what Jesus has done for us. |
| 1:35.9 | It's such a gift. And then where are you today? What's going on in your world nowadays? |
| 1:39.8 | Yeah, so today I am on staff at Watermark Community Church and I am on the Frontlines team. |
| 1:45.6 | And Emma, it's been so wild. |
| 1:48.4 | I joined Watermark about five years ago, immediately jumped into serving on the Frontlines team. |
