“Now, LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart..." (1 Kings 3:7-12)
I had a wonderful time with my husband and son this past week in Mexico. There were so many blog-worthy moments but unfortunately I don't have time to write them now. I was happy John could join us for his last Spring break before he enters the real world! I didn't do my readings while I was there, but was very aware of God's presence. I finished an excellent book about marriage. I also read one that definitely did not make me smarter; in fact I'd like to erase it from my memory.
I could easily be tempted to skip my recap this week, but I went to His Word and this portion hit me like a ton of bricks. We all need His Wisdom regarding decisions. I am reminded to make sure I go to God first.
