Would you want to live a life like Solomon's if you were given a chance? I am not saying that you should be as wise and as rich as him, but Solomon lived a life of abundance. Kings from all over the world would visit him to see what he had accomplished. When they came, they would bring a lot of gifts for him but carried away more gifts from Solomon when they left.
Recently, I was intrigued with the story of Solomon because I realized that he did not plan to become the wisest man in history nor the richest man of his time. His wisdom and riches were just by-products of what he asked for when the Lord visited him in 1 Kings 3:5-9 NASBS
The ONLY thing Solomon asked for that night was an understanding heard so that he could discern good from evil! As a result, God gave him wisdom and riches that were too much even for him to contain. I realize we can all live the kind of life Solomon lived, if we have what he had - an understanding heart.
I hope this audio message will help you have a fruitful 2022!!!
