Bible Story: King Solomon’s Wisdom
A great example of believing in experiences is the story of King Solomon. God gave Solomon wisdom, and he used it to make good decisions for his people. One day, two women came to him, both claiming to be the mother of a baby.
Solomon’s experience taught him that sometimes people are not honest. So, he suggested cutting the baby in half and giving each woman a part. The real mother quickly said to give the baby to the other woman, showing her love.
Solomon then knew who the real mother was. This story shows how Solomon believed in his experiences to make a wise decision.
Scriptures to Guide You
- Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV): “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Trusting God and our experiences can help us make good decisions.
- James 1:5 (KJV): “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” God provides wisdom when we ask for it, guiding us through our experiences.
- Proverbs 16:9 (KJV): “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.” Our experiences can guide our steps when we trust the Lord.
Real-World Example: Learning from Mistakes
Imagine someone who tried a new recipe and accidentally added too much salt. The dish tasted bad, but they learned to be more careful next time. This experience helps them make better choices in the future. They now know to double-check the recipe, showing how experiences guide good decisions.
Making Decisions
When faced with a decision, think about what you’ve learned in the past. Remember the lessons from both successes and mistakes. Pray and ask God for wisdom, just like Solomon did. Trust that your experiences are valuable and can help you make choices that honor God and benefit others.

CALL TO SALVATION
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 10:9-10 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation
John 3:5-6 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is the Spirit.
