Saturday

When Soloman was a young man he was tasked with being king. (after King David died)

Aware of the huge task ahead of him - ruling a large, complicated kingdom.

One night, God appeared to Soloman in dream.

In the Dream, God said to Soloman: “Ask for whatever you want me to give you”

A blank check from God - Soloman could have asked for anything.

• Massive power

• Endless riches

• Victory over his enemies

• A long, pain-free life

But instead, Soloman replied humbly:

"I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong."
(1 Kings 3:7–9)

In retrospect Soloman asked for wisdom - not wealth, not fame, not revenge, but the ability to rule well and fairly.

Character over comfort.

God willing.
