—1 Kings 9:1-5
by: Paula Davis.
Solomon had a choice early on in His reign. God was willing to give Solomon anything he asked for (1 Kings 3). Instead of choosing a selfish desire of power or riches, Solomon chose wisdom. He asked God to make him a wise ruler. He wanted to follow God in everything he did. This faithfulness secured Solomon as a ruler for the ages. God is willing to give us wisdom as well if we will ask for it (James 1:5). Our faithfulness to God’s desires for our lives pleases God and allows Him to bless us as He blessed Solomon.
