The Benefits of Wisdom: The Wow Effect

The Benefits of Wisdom: The Wow Effect

And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her. – 1 Kings 10:4-5

Another benefit that wisdom confers on those who possess it is a knack for putting up a setup or process with a wow effect from those that see it in action.

The wisdom that Solomon had did not just afford him sound judgment, wise counsel, and felicity of answers. It also availed him a flair for a seamless translation of structures and processes into a system that even the most critical of onlookers was wowed by the sheer magnitude of his administrative setup and the running of his estates.

When the queen of Sheba saw the grandiose estate of Solomon, the kind of cuisine daily served on his royal table, the organized way his servants and courtiers went about their duties, the exotic clothing they wore and the decking of the hallway he walked on to go the temple of God, she was flummoxed by the grandeur of it all, and there was no spirit left in her to do anything else. That means she was totally floored and bowled over.

Wisdom was what aided Solomon in coming up with this complex combination of structural, administrative and operational setup in such an ancient era and in translating them into an efficient system that elicited a wow effect. Imagine how other monarchs and nobles who also courted Solomon must have felt when they saw his setup too.

This is one of the endowments of wisdom. It helps you to conceptualize and translate complex concepts into an efficient and relatable format that, while still being complex, is also accessible.
