Show the Key Passage Repeat after me Show Main Point Lets review our Main Point one more time Repeat after me Dismiss kids to class: (_:10) Play Dismiss Song Start with 3yr olds once they are out the door Send 4yr olds once they are out the door Send 5yr/K Bible Lesson: When King David died, his son Solomon became king. God said, Ask for anything you want. Solomon asked God to make him wise, so God did. God gave Solomon wisdom. Solomon s wisdom helped him know how to make right choices and live in a way that made God happy. Kings and queens from far away heard how wise Solomon was, and they visited Solomon to learn from him. Solomon wrote down many wise sayings. These sayings are the Book of Proverbs. They can help people live wisely. These are some of the words Solomon wrote. Proverbs are good for teaching you wisdom and how to know what is right, honest, and fair. Everyone can have wisdom young people and old people! If you really want to be wise, the first thing to do is fear God. Fearing God means to respect Him and be amazed at Him. Only foolish people ignore wisdom and instruction. Listen to the things I am teaching you. They will help you live a long life, and you will be successful. Love people and look for the truth. You will find favor with God and with man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not trust in what you know yourself. Think about God in everything you do, and He will guide you to do the right thing. Do not pretend that you know everything. Run to God, and run away from evil. Then you will be healthy and strong. Honor God with everything you have, and give Him the first and the best of what you have. He will provide more than you need. When God disciplines you, do not hate what He is doing. God trains you because He loves you, like a father trains his son. This advice will help you become wise. Stay away from people who do evil things. Do not act like they do. Evil people make trouble and hurt others. They make bad decisions. A wise person is like the morning sun, and a foolish person is like darkness. They cannot see where they are going, and they fall down. Christ Connection: God gives us wisdom. He made everything and knows how it works best. Everyone sins and makes foolish choices, but God sent His Son to save us. Jesus makes us wise and holy, and He frees us from sin.
