will find life, righteousness, and honor.
Proverbs 21:21
Solomon asked for wisdom, and received much more. God was pleased with his request. God is also pleased when His people pursue what is important to Him: right relationships and reflecting His lovingkindness. He wants us to want to be in fellowship with Him and those He has put in our lives to have relationship with. And He wants us to go out of our way to do something to bless these same people. He wants us to live our lives for others, not just ourselves. When we do, we find out that it is more blessed to give than receive. When we do, we find a sense of purpose in life, a deepness in our relationships, and a returned respect we only dreamed were possible. We do the first not to receive the second; rather, we receive the latter as a pleasant surprise in pursuing the former. So, what will we ask for with our actions today?
