Solomon asked not

 for riches that will rot,

 for wealth that can be lost

 or stolen. 

 Nor did he ask

 for length of days

 to be spent on pleasures 

 and fleshly ways.

 He did not seek

 the death's of his enemies

 that he might be

 in perfect safety. 

 No, he asked for true wealth  -

 wisdom and knowledge 

 to correctly discern 

 between good and evil  -

 He wanted to be a wise ruler of God's people. 

 He recognized God is our source of wisdom 

 and knowledge (not Bible college).

 He knew wisdom as an anointing  - as a Spirit, 

 that comes from God, not men -

It can be taught as knowledge to the mind

 but it cannot be lived and implemented

 without the Spirit of the Living God 

 dwelling on us and within us - guiding us, instructing us,

 daily - how to be - His sons and daughters, 

 how to live in a manner worthy of Him

 and pleasing to Him
