The Place

This month's study is Biblical Hearts. I think the day that meant the most
to me this week was February 4th - An Understanding Heart. I think the
reason I liked this one so much is because I like the story that goes along
with it....Solomon's request for an understanding heart. I often think about
this when I read this passage in I Kings 3....would I ask for that? Or would
I ask for wisdom, riches, power, you name it.....God said " Ask what I shall
give thee." No limitations, NOTHING was off limits.....Solomon had the
ability to have ANYTHING from God......


and he chose an understanding heart.


WOW! Solomon, the wisest man, chose an understanding heart. He knew
the importance of discerning right from wrong, good from bad. How much
more do we (I) need this! The good news is, we can have an understanding
heart too. All we need to do is ask.....James 4:2 says we have not, because
we ask not.....

So the next time you read the passage in I Kings 3 take time to think
about what your answer would be if God asked you that question. And
then maybe take time to ask for an understanding heart......
