Dear Father in Heaven: Please help me today by granting unto me wisdom and knowledge. I want to work for You and to get it done right in Your eyes. Thanks for opening Your Word to me yesterday. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, today I want to go back to the first testament and bring out some scripture about some talks between God and Solomon. Yes, it is about wisdom and knowledge, something that all of us could use a good dose or two of.
2 Chronicles 1:7 - That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, "Ask for whatever you want me to give to you. 8 Solomon answered God. "You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth." (NIV)
2 Chronicles 1:11 - God said to Solomon, "Since this is your heart's desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, riches and honor such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have." (NIV)
Each day people play those daily numbers or buy those scratch-off lottery cards hoping to strike it rich. Each day they are wasting their money. I am sure that many people have made promises to God that if they would get that winning ticket they would give most of the money to God. Yet they did not trust God with the dollars that were spent on those tickets. Yes, before you ask, I have over the years purchased a few. And yes, I prayed about them and I dreamed a little. However, the truth of the matter is NOW my prayers are for Salvation through Jesus Christ, for I know once I am at home with the Lord I will have all the riches needed, as I would be face to face with my beloved Jesus. I do pray today for a good dose of wisdom and knowledge as I get back to writing again for our Lord Jesus. These last ten weeks away from the computer and closing down our beloved food pantry has taken its toll on us, but we are moving again for the Lord and heading ourselves straight to Jesus with NO SIDE TRIPS. It has taken me awhile but I know full well that it is all about the cross and not the old wooden cross but the man who died on the cross for you and for me. So as I close up today I ask that you pray with me as in the way Solomon talked with God. Let's pray.
Dear Father in Heaven: It is not riches that we, I, seek today but salvation through Jesus and a good dose of wisdom and knowledge to go along with it. Thanks, Jesus, for dying for us on the cross. I appreciate it more and more each day. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
See you tomorrow. Love ya. Pastor Dan
