The Right Response
"That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you." (2 Chronicles 1:7)
What if God showed up at your house this evening and asked you that question? What would you say? If God said to you, "whatever you want, ask me." How would you answer Him? I have to say that my initial thought was not like Solomon's.
"Give me wisdom and knowledge," was his response. Why? "That I may lead this people." Solomon was thinking about others when making His request. His motives were not selfish. It all comes down to the condition of the heart; yours and mine. How do we respond to God and His people on any given day?
And for his compassionate response, Solomon was rewarded handsomely. "Since this is your heart's desire, and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given to you. And, I will also give you wealth, riches, and honor, such no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have." (11-12)
Consider again how you might respond should God ask you that question?
