Vs 7- "Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. Vs 9- So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?" I Kings 3:7-9
God made Solomon King of Israel at a very young age. Solomon, being a man of God, was concerned about his lack of knowledge and was not sure he could succeed as King of Israel. Solomon prayed a simple prayer asking God for knowledge and understanding so that he could successfully lead the people of Israel.
In verse 10, God is very pleased that Solomon would request knowledge and wisdom. God said, "Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice, behold, I have done according to your words."
God blessed Solomon with more knowledge and wisdom than any man has every had. With this knowledge, Solomon became the most successful businessman ever. Solomon was the richest man that ever lived. Without knowledge and understanding, we have nothing and all things will fail.
Are you struggling in you business or marriage or with family or anything at all? Ask God for the wisdom and knowledge to do as God has led you to do. Ensure your work is Gods will and not your own. God will provide you with all the knowledge and wisdom to be successful in all you do. Pray that you seek to honor God in all that you do. Asking for knowledge for the wrong reasons will not result in Success.
Our Father, I pray that all I do today is pleasing in your eyes. I pray for knowledge and understanding of all things I should deal with today so that everything I do will glorify your kingdom. In Jesus Name, AMEN.
