Title: The Wisdom of God is Just a Prayer Away
Text:
1 Kings 3:9 (HCSB)
So give Your servant an obedient heart to judge Your people and to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?"
Observation:
This prayer of Solomon is the best possible request from God. Many pray for health and for wealth, and these are worthy requests. However, we will still be lacking if we don't have the ability to discern between good and evil. Having wisdom is wise and necessary in whatever you do.
Proverbs 4:7 (HCSB)
Wisdom is supreme—so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.
Getting wisdom is not a stretch that is beyond your ability to obtain. There is nothing that is beyond the reach of the prayer of faith when the object of your faith is God.
O how we all need the wisdom of God during the days of trial and testing. Notice that Solomon also prayed for an obedient heart. If you have a divided heart the trials and troubles that you face in life will tear you apart. You need a heart that is fully devoted to God so that you will be able to experience the power of God working for your good during your day of trouble.
James 1:5 (NLT)
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, will You grant to Your people of faith the wisdom of God so that we might be able to discern between good and evil. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Acts 6:4 (ESV)
4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word."
Psalm 65:2 (ESV)
2 O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come.
