—1 Kings 3:5-14
by: Nathanael Lawton.
Solomon didn’t ask for riches or for a long life. Solomon didn’t even ask for the knowledge to rule the kingdom so that he could become a powerful king. He asked for “an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil,” (v. 9). His request was for something that would primarily benefit others. It should be our prayer that we could act with similar selflessness.
