Please read 2 Chronicles 9.

Meditate on verse 4b.
She was breathless.
Why was Queen Sheba breathless in the presence of King Solomon? It wasn’t his livestock, gold, and precious stones; she had plenty of that (v. 1). What left Sheba breathless was Solomon’s incredible wisdom.
Then she said to the king, "It was a true report
which I heard in my own land about your words and
your wisdom. Nevertheless, I did not believe
their reports until I came and my eyes had seen it.
And behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom
was not told me. You surpass the report that I heard.
How blessed are your men, how blessed are these your servants
who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom.”
—2 Chronicles 9:5-7
Recall God gave Solomon His wisdom (2 Chronicles 1:10), and in Jesus, you have His wisdom, too:
By His doing, you are in Christ Jesus, who became
to us wisdom from God. We have the mind of Christ.
—1 Corinthians 1:30a; 2:16b
Because of Jesus Christ, you are as wise as King Solomon. Let that truth leave you breathless as you pray 2 Chronicles 9:2-3 and 5-8 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, please let nothing be hidden from _________ and
me as we explain Your truths. May others see Your wisdom in us.
Let people hear about Your Words and Your wisdom.
Let them come and see with their own eyes the
greatness of Your wisdom. May they be blessed as they continually
hear Your wisdom. LORD our God, delight in us, love us,
and establish us forever to do justice and righteousness.
Because You are our wisdom, Jesus~”
