"Vigilant to Ask; Content to Rest in the Struggle" I Kings 3-5; Luke 20:1-26

Solomon had a dream.

He asked for wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong.

“Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” I Kings 3:5

What if?
What would we ask for?

And God granted Solomon what he wished for...and even more.
A discerning heart.Ask Big.

                                                   Like the Cartwheels in Space.

It's just a dream. Very uncommon that God would speak in a dream. For keeps.

"I'm but a child climbing onto this throne.
I do not know how to go out or come in.

Give me wisdom, O God.
Spiritual Blessings, not the physical earthly ones.
Things that last for Eternity.
I Kings 3:12-13

And God gave what he asked...wisdom.
And God gave what he did not ask for...riches and honor.

The LORD is always doing us good.
Ask this day what He puts in your heart.
Ask big. Your God awaits.

PRAYER FROM PSALMS
Psalm 17: 3, 7
Look at the secrets of my heart, this moment, O God.
Show me that your Love is Wonderful!

Oh, that I may show love to my children, my friends by taking care of their souls, by "snatching them as brands out of the burning."  (John Wesley).  May I not be nonchalant over their days but vigilant to pray and content to rest in the struggle.  Oh God!  Change me.  And change my children.
