“And God said to him, “Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.” -1 Kings 3:11-12 ESV
Imagine that the God of the universe came to you directly to ask for your requests. A lot of us might already have a list on standby. But King Solomon did something that pleased God. He made an unselfish prayer which led to God giving the king way more than he expected. Today, think about ways that you can pray to bless someone other than yourself.
