Today’s Scripture: 2 Chronicles 1:7-12 The Message—That night God appeared to Solomon. God said, “What do you want from me? Ask.” Solomon answered, “You were extravagantly generous with David my father, and now you have made me king in his place. Establish, God, the words you spoke to my father, for you’ve given me a staggering task, ruling this mob of people. Yes, give me wisdom and knowledge as I come and go among this people—for who on his own is capable of leading these, your glorious people?” God answered Solomon, “This is what has come out of your heart: You didn’t grasp for money, wealth, fame, and the doom of your enemies; you didn’t even ask for a long life. You asked for wisdom and knowledge so you could govern well my people over whom I’ve made you king. Because of this, you get what you asked for—wisdom and knowledge. And I’m presenting you the rest as a bonus—money, wealth, and fame beyond anything the kings before or after you had or will have.”
Today’s Word: Believe
Today’s Prayer: Dear Father God what a great example of how to pray—believing that you are good and that you will answer with extravagant generosity. Solomon did not beg you or use the common words “your will be done”. He expected and you delivered much more than he had believed for. How awesome is that! Amen.
