Daily Verse
When all Israel heard the verdict King Solomon had given,
they held the king in awe, because they saw
that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.
1Kings 3:28
Daily Thought
Aladdin's Genie held up three fingers, "Three wishes, to be exact. And ixnay on the wishing for more wishes."
Not a problem for my 4-year old daughter, Abby. "Then I'd just wish for more genies."
Clever.
God said to Solomon, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you."
"Give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong."
--1Kings 3:9
Wise.
God said, "Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor for the death of your enemies, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for - both riches and honor - so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings."
--1Kings 3:10-13

Daily Prayer
Righteous God, You are just and good. You give us wisdom if we ask for it, but You warn us not to come with a divided heart. God, may I love You with all my heart, with all my strength, with all my mind. No division. May I seek You and You alone. If I do that, God, it will show up in my love for others.
May I have the heart of Your Son, Jesus, who considered others better than Himself. Better than Himself! He is God. Your Son. Yet He washed the feet of His followers. Father, break into my heart. Teach me the humility of Christ.
Amen
