DECEMBER 6, 1 Kings 3:5-10

If God were to give you a blank cheque and say – “Ask anything, and I’ll give it to you.”What would you ask God for? It’s an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ask God for your heart’s desire! Would you ask for the most popular toy that everyone has? Or would you ask for good results in the exams? What is your heart’s desire? Let’s see what Solomon wanted.

Solomon was resting at night, when God appeared to him in a dream. He could have asked for more riches, a greater kingdom, and even a longer life. But his reply was probably nothing that you or me would have thought of asking!

After Solomon praised God and humbly confessed his helplessness as a young king to rule a great nation, he presented his heart’s desire before God. He only had one request. Solomon’s sincere desire was to have wisdom to execute right judgment. It was a request that pleased God. Wisdom is not just for kings. We too need wisdom every day to choose between what is good and bad, and make the right decisions that are pleasing in God’s sight. Pray and ask God to grant you wisdom too.

Do you know how precious wisdom is?
Read Proverbs 8:11 and write it here.

Read the verse again slowly and try to commit it to memory!

Thought: How can I start to have wisdom? Fear the LORD, and know His Word.

Prayer: Father in heaven, I praise You for Your great mercy towards me. Although I’m young, I pray that you would grant me a godly fear and wisdom to judge between good and bad. Help me to make right decisions that will be pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
