An Understanding Heart
"Give to Your servant an understanding heart."1 Kings 3:9
Reflection
Solomon could ask God for anything and asked for wisdom. God liked it so much He gave wisdom and much more. Asking to understand is a beautiful request.
Prayer
God, give me a heart that understands people. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- If you could ask God for anything, what would it be?
- Why did God like Solomon's request?
- What would you like to understand better?
