1 Kings 3:9 says:

"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?" (NIV)

This verse is part of King Solomon’s prayer to God, where he humbly asks not for wealth or power, but for wisdom to lead well. It reflects a heart that values understanding and discernment above all else.

In daily life, this teaches us to seek wisdom from God in our decisions, relationships, and responsibilities. A discerning heart—one that listens to God and seeks what is right—leads to wise choices, impactful leadership, and a life that honors Him.
