In I Kings 3, Solomon asks God for the wisdom to govern His people the way God wants him to. He asks for wisdom to be the best king God needs him to be. He doesn't ask for riches. He doesn't ask for a long life. He just wants to serve God the best way possible. In return, God gives him not only the wisdom he needs, but riches, fame, and a long and prosperous life.
Let me know if you feel the same as I do... I've always been told to ask God for wisdom but never truly understood what that meant until recently. I ask God for "signs". I ask God for specifics. I ask Him for direction, but not the wisdom to be able to live the life He intended for me. The wisdom to go out into this world and find my way. I ask for action. I ask for things I can SEE with my own eyes. I try to be patient, but patience frustrates me.
I'm going to practice this "praying for wisdom" thing. Grow a stronger relationship and understanding for God's true intention and direction. Not only with what He wants for me, but for all His children. I want the wisdom to know not only what I can do for myself but for my brothers and sisters in Christ.
