#71 -- God's Wisdom

“Yes, give me wisdom and knowledge as I come and go among this people—for who on his own is capable of leading these, your glorious people?"
2 Chronicles 1:10 Message Bible

My heart’s desire . . .
your wisdom, Lord, “as I come and go among this people”
your wisdom, Lord, as I am in and out among people
during my daily activities
your wisdom, Lord, in responding
not reacting
to people, situations, circumstances
for Lord
you created each of these people
let me see them with your heart
let me be your instrument
of love
of joy
of peace
of your gospel of salvation


When asked by God what he wanted, Solomon replied . . .

“Give me wisdom and knowledge. Then I'll be able to lead these people. Without your help, who would be able to rule this great nation of yours?"

God’s reply . . .

God said to Solomon, "I am glad that those are the things you really want. You have not asked for wealth, riches or honor. You have not even asked to have your enemies killed. You have not asked to live for a long time. Instead, you have asked for wisdom and knowledge. You want to be able to rule my people wisely. I have made you king over them. So wisdom and knowledge will be given to you. I will also give you wealth, riches and honor. You will have more than any king before you ever had. And no king after you will have as much."
