What Do You Really Want?
What do we truly desire from God? This powerful message challenges us to examine our hearts and priorities through the lens of Solomon's prayer. When given a blank check by God, Solomon asks not for wealth or power, but for a 'listening heart' to lead God's people wisely. This request pleased God immensely, reminding us that seeking God's will above our own desires is the path to true wisdom and blessing. The Hebrew concept of 'lev shomiyah' - a heart that listens and obeys - invites us to move beyond passive hearing to active engagement with God's word. As we reflect on our own prayers, are we asking for what we want, or for what God wants for us? This message encourages us to align our hearts with God's purposes, trusting that when we seek His kingdom first, He will provide for our needs in ways beyond our imagination.
