Just a little thought from devotion

I'm always fasinated by the wisdom of Solomon. I like the proverbs, psalms, and books he wrote. Today I read his asking God for wisdom in 1 Kings:

'The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him, "Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for-both riches and honor-so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. "'

Solomon asks for wisdom. It pleases God. So what he is given eventually is not only wisdom, but also everything! Things that he has not even asked for! To pray and ask for what He pleases brings much blessing...

Solomon's asking for wisdom. What am I asking for my life? What are you asking for in the new year?
