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!
May come our way-just like Solomon
