What do you want? Ask and I will give it to you

What do you want? Ask and I will give it to you.... 2 Chronicles 1:7

If you were given a blank cheque like God did to Solomon, what would you ask for? Before  you answer, read and learn:

Then God said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life—but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king— wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.”

Solomon knew how important the people of Israel were to God - after all He created them as a people unto himself. Anyone who cared for them is blessed by God. Solomon knew the master key to God's heart and he used it.

How about you? What would you ask for if God where to ask you this question?

Do not focus on material things - seek first those things that are priority to God - saving souls from the depth of hell, bringing the good news about the Kingdom of God to the world. All other things shall be added to you. Seek the first thing first.

Children of God, let's get our priorities in the right order.
