The Wisdom for Which You Ask

You can tell a lot about a Christian's priorities, their need, and what sort of legacy they will leave behind based off the wisdom they ask for.

You can also tell a lot about a Christian's priorities, need, and legacy based off the wisdom they neglect to ask for.

Solomon was given the opportunity to receive whatever wisdom he asked for, and while the Bible tells us his request pleased the Lord, I can't help but wonder if God would have been just as if not even more pleased had Solomon included a request for wisdom in his home when he asked to have it in the throne.

If your social and professional standards don't mirror your personal, foundational, at home standards, you will eventually come down to the wire of these questions:

Where do your priorities lay, at their most raw?

What growth do you need, spiritually, in order to serve and live for God to the fullest?

What sort of legacy do you want to leave behind?

Seek God's wisdom for these areas.

Seek His guidance in detail, not just in a blanket request for help...He knows your needs, but you will grow in humility, faith, and contentment when you ask for His specific help and see Him work.
