1 Kings 3: 5,
One night, the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream,
and God said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
If you were Solomon, for what would you ask? Money? Health? Fame?
When young Solomon stood before the Lord, he did not say, “Fix this problem.” He did not reach for riches. He did not grasp for long life. He opened his hands and asked for an understanding heart, the ability to discern, to see clearly, to judge rightly. And God was moved.
That is what wisdom does. It does not hand you a map for one road. It teaches you to read every road.
Not in a dream, but in the Bible, God promises: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5)
James says simply, ask. God gives generously. Wisdom is not withheld from the humble heart. It is waiting and praying for it.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Prayer: Father, I don’t ask merely for answers today. Grant me wisdom to think, discern, and walk rightly before You.
