In this powerful Capps Chapel Radio message, Annette Capps explores Solomon's request in 1 Kings 3:9 and the importance of developing a listening heart. When Solomon asked God for wisdom, he prayed for "an understanding mind and a hearing heart." His request shows us that wisdom begins by truly listening - not just with our ears or intellect, but with our heart.
The Hebrew word šāma' (pronounced shaw-mah) means to listen intently, to grab hold of what you hear. Scripture urges us to diligently listen to the voice of the Lord because that's where wisdom speaks. Wisdom is constantly calling out: SHAW-MAH - listen to me! But too often, we're distracted and aren't paying attention.
Solomon's ability to hear didn't just give him insight - it unlocked intelligence. He became known for his knowledge of nature, animals, birds, and more. People from every nation came to hear his wisdom. The more we develop our ability to listen, the more our capacity to receive intelligence increases.
This message will challenge you to quiet the noise and cultivate a heart that hears. Download the MP3 and PDF notes today - and start hearing wisdom in a whole new way.
