“Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established.” Proverbs 16:3

Solomon was a man who found favor with God. So much so that in 1 Kings 3:5 God appeared to Solomon in a dream and said to him, “Ask! What shall I give to you?” What would your answer have been? I’ve often wondered what mine would have been at various times in my life. Solomon’s answer was actually an unlikely one. In 1 Kings 3:9 Solomon answered “Give to your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” The world was laid at his doorstep and Solomon chooses to ask for Wisdom. God response? “because you have asked for such a thing, and have not asked for long life for yourself, nor have asked for riches for yourself, nor have asked for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold I have done according to your words: see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.

Pray For Wisdom!
