In 1 Kings 4:29, Solomon didn’t just ask for wisdom. It says he also asked for insight. I searched up the definition of insight on biblegateway.com and it said that it is a spiritual quality that helps a person to appreciate God’s mind, His will, truth and providence where right perception isn’t obvious. So many of us are seeking God’s will in situations or wisdom in how to handle things. I’ve prayed for wisdom thousands of times, but insight is also available to us. God is willing to help us understand His mind in situations when it isn’t easy to determine it. Insight will help us to understand His Word and this world better. Try asking God to give you insight into situations, His plan for you and when reading the Bible. God will answer and open your mind up to reveal new and exciting things to you.
Here are some Bible verses on insight.
1. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.
Proverbs 2:3 NLT
2. Leave [behind] your foolishness [and the foolish] and live, And walk in the way of insight and understanding.
Proverbs 9:6 AMP
3. I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.
Ephesians 1:16-17 NLT
4. Break open your Word within me until revelation-light shines out! Those with open hearts are given insight into your plans.
Psalms 119:130 TPT
5. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.
Proverbs 4:7 ESV
