Good Morning!
So give Your servant an understanding mind and a hearing heart [with which] to judge Your people, so that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge and rule this great people of Yours?” Now it pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing. God said to him, “Because you have asked this and have not asked for yourself a long life nor for wealth, nor for the lives of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to recognize justice, behold, I have done as you asked. I have given you a wise and discerning heart (mind), so that no one before you was your equal, nor shall anyone equal to you arise after you. I have also given you what you have not asked, both wealth and honor, so that there will not be anyone equal to you among the kings, for all your days. -1 Kings 3:9-13
How often do we ask for wisdom and discernment? Solomon did and God not only blessed him with what he asked for but because he asked in humility and didn’t seek self when asking for it God blessed him with so much more. Solomon is still, to this day, the wisest person that has lived on this earth other than Jesus. What are we praying for? What are we asking God for?
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” -Solomon
“How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver.” -Solomon
