1Ki 3:3, AND SOLOMON LOVED THE LORD, WALKING IN THE STATUTES OF HIS FATHER DAVID, EXCEPT that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
We all have fallen short of the glory of GOD!
1Ki 3:5, At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and GOD SAID, “ASK! WHAT SHALL I GIVE YOU?”
1Ki 3:9, Therefore 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?”
1Ki 3:10, 12,13, The speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing…BEHOLD, I HAVE DONE ACCORDING TO YOUR WORDS; see, I HAVE GIVEN YOU A WISE AND UNDERSTANDING HEART… AND I HAVE ALSO GIVEN YOU WHAT YOU HAVE NOT ASKED: BOTH RICHES AND HONOR
The LORD did this for Solomon because he asked for wisdom to lead HIS people!
1Jn 5:14, Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARS US.
Joh 15:7, IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE, AND IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU.
WHAT SHALL HE GIVE YOU? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN ASKING FOR? ARE YOU IN HIS WORD, DOES HIS WORD ABIDE IN YOU? NOTHING WRONG WITH RICHES, BUT WISDOM IS BETTER THAN RUBBIES PRO 8:11!
