Just Ask For Whatever You Want

“Give me wisdom and knowledge.”–II Chronicles 1:10

When it comes to presents, most of us know exactly what we want. We don’t have to think about it too much.

One day, the Lord gave Solomon a blank check-of-sorts. He basically said, “Go ahead and ask for anything your heart desires.” But Solomon did not share might be considered a typical, “Kingly” kind-of-list…you know, like money or that all his enemies would be put to death. He knew what he wanted more than anything else. He had his priorities straight and they reflect a heart that was seeking God above anything material or vain. He wanted wisdom!

The Lord loved this request! Why He loved it so much that He couldn’t help Himself…and He even blessed him with what he didn’t ask for–like wealth and long life and so much more. We serve a Lord who is more than generous to His children than we can imagine or deserve.

Father God:  Like Solomon, I ask for wisdom and knowledge.  When You guide me through the truth of Your word, I will have Your wisdom that far surpasses anything the world offers.  Your knowledge gives a sure foundation I can depend on.
