Today's Scripture *July 18, 2008*

2 Kings 3: 11-14

And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

Solomon asked for wisdom, not wealth, but God gave him riches and a long life as well. While God does not promise riches for those that follow Him, He gives us what we need if we put His kingdom, His interests, and His principles first.

Matthew 6: 31-33 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, What shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Setting your sights on riches will only leave you dissatisfied because even if you get the riches you crave, you will still want something more. But if you put God and His work first, He will satisfy your deepest needs.

Father in Heaven, we are so grateful that we serve a God who is more than able to meet our every need. May we seek You--knowing You, serving You, loving You, more than any earthy riches or gain. Help us to place You first in our lives! First in our desires! First in our needs! In Your Son's Precious and Holy Name, Amen..

Have a blessed Son-filled weekend!

Love Your Sister in Christ,

April
