The question was posed this week, "If God told you He would grant the one thing you wanted most, what would that one thing be?" I pondered the question, and without any hesitation, I knew what my answer would be. What would your answer be? All of you girls are likely familiar with the story of David and Bathsheba. You'll likely recognize the name of their son, Solomon--known as the wisest king who ever lived. Just how did Solomon come to be so wise? Simple answer: he asked God to make him that way. The Lord asked Solomon what he would like most of all, and here is Solomon's response:
"Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?"
Solomon could've asked for wealth, lands, possessions...but, instead he asked for God's help to be a Godly ruler. He asked for wisdom. And, because he wasn't selfish in his request, God also gave him more riches than he could've ever dreamed possible---AND wisdom.
What would your one request be and for what reason? For the glory of God and the blessing of others or for our own dreams and desires? Solomon was in no-wise perfect, but he loved God and acknowledged that he needed God's help more than he needed anything else in this world.
Girls, where are you tonight? What would your one request be?
Scripture Reading for the Day:
Proverbs 12
Luke 6
I too Pondered that question this week. As I thought about it the more I realized I lack wisdom that is Heaven sent. I need to pray and ask God to give me wisdom. Today I read Proverbs 12/ Luke 6
