1 Kings 3:7-9
7 “Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
1. Recognize weaknesses. V.7
Weaknesses are our limitations. Solomon realized his current leadership skill and all his natural abilities would not be enough to lead.
2. Acknowledge and understand the scope. V.8
Understanding the big picture is critical.
3. Understand that it takes discernment and character more than all other resources to successfully lead. V.9
Solomons Key to Leadership: Solomon humbly desired to grow as a leader and sought character development rather than recognition.
