Scripture

1 Kings 3

9 Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong.

Observation

If you could have anything what would you want? Solomon could have asked God for anything and God would have given it to him, but he asked for wisdom. This request caused God to pour out His blessings on Solomon even though he didn’t ask for them. God said that Solomon would be the wisest man that ever lived and He said that there would never be a man again as wise as Solomon.

I need wisdom today. How about you? I need to have an understanding heart. In the world that we live in wisdom seems to be in short supply. People seem to be doing the craziest things. Our government seems to completely lack wisdom. I need wisdom to try to see where all of this is going. I desire to see the big picture on where we as a nation are headed. Give me wisdom Lord give me an understanding heart.

"If you need wisdom—if you want to know what God wants you to do—ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking." James 1:5

Application

I am asking God for wisdom.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, give me an understanding heart. Help me to know what to do. Help me to see the big picture. Thank you for Your promise to give me wisdom when I ask You for it. I am asking right now! Thank You for hearing my prayer. You are worthy of praise.
