GREAT BLESSINGS! King David's son-Solomon- Was told he could Have anything he wanted ALL King Solomon wanted Was a discerning heart “Your servant is here Among the people You have chosen A great people Too numerous to count Or number So give your servant A DISCERNING HEART To govern your people And to distinguish between Right and wrong” 1 Kings 3:8-9 And for the WISDOM AND HUMILITY Shown by Solomon The Lord rewarded him BEYOND his wildest dreams That the young man Had in his heart “The Lord told Solomon: 'In addition I give you What you have not asked for Such riches and glory That among kings There is not your like” 1 Kings 3:13 GREAT for King Solomon But what about us Are we LIVING with WISDOM AND HUMILITY Are we wishing for A DISCERNING HEART And who or what Are we praying for And are we PRAYING With HUMILITY IF we are We will be BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE As I certainly have been NOT riches and glory like King Solomon But I certainly have been BLESSED With all that I need “In your majesty Ride forth victoriously In the case of truth- Humility-and justice Let your right hand ACHIEVE awesome deeds” Psalm 45:4 “When pride comes- Then comes disgrace But with humility Comes wisdom” Proverbs 11:2 As King Solomon-certainly found out So who or what Are you praying for Maybe RECONCILIATION With loved ones A new job A new house HEALTH restoration for yourself Or for family and friends IT'S OK-to ask For specific requests But let us KEEP our hearts-and minds- And souls open For the GREAT BLESSINGS of God Just like Solomon did Namely-A DISCERNING HEART And WISDOM and HUMILITY IF we do that- Who knows What other GREAT BLESSINGS!
