2 Chronicles 9-10 | Listening to Wise Counsel

Episode Summary

In this episode of No Dusty Bibles, we look at 2 Chronicles 9–10, where Solomon’s wisdom amazes the Queen of Sheba and glorifies God, but Rehoboam’s pride and poor choices divide the kingdom. These chapters remind us of the blessing of seeking godly wisdom and the danger of rejecting wise counsel.

Key Highlights from the Episode

• Overview of the Passage:
  • Chapter 9: Solomon’s wisdom and wealth impress the Queen of Sheba.
  • Chapter 10: Rehoboam rejects wise counsel, leading to division in Israel.
• Key Themes:
  • Wisdom glorifies God and blesses His people.
  • Foolishness and pride bring destruction and division.
  • Godly counsel is vital for faithful living.
• Devotional Application: We are called to seek God’s wisdom, remain teachable, and listen to voices that guide us toward obedience and humility.

Reflection Prompts

1. Where are you tempted to rely on your own understanding instead of seeking wise counsel? How might you bring that situation before God today?
2. Who are the “voices” you’re listening to most right now? Do they encourage you toward humility and faithfulness?
3. How can you posture your heart to be teachable? What step of humility can you take this week to better receive God’s wisdom?

Closing Encouragement

God delights to give wisdom, and He often does it through His Word, His Spirit, and His people. Stay humble, seek His counsel, and let His wisdom guide your steps.

Until then, stay in the Word and trust in His promises. See you next time!
