Before Solomon began to reign as king, he gathered the captains, judges, governors, and chief fathers to accompany him to Gibeon, where the tabernacle was set up, so that he could honor God by offering sacrifices there. At this time, the tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant were not together because David had brought the Ark to Jerusalem and placed it in a tent. While he was sleeping, God came to Solomon in a dream and instructed him to ask for anything he desired. He responded by requesting wisdom. Because he hadn’t asked for wealth, but had asked for something spiritual, God gave him what he asked for, and also made him the wealthiest man who has ever lived. His net worth was estimated to be over $2 trillion. 

If you haven’t yet prayed for wisdom like Solomon, why haven’t you? Not to gain material wealth, but to know God, His ways, and to understand the scriptures. One prayer that I prayed is that God would fill in the gaps of my understanding, and He granted me the answer to that prayer. Now, I weave bits of that information into my devotions and have a clearer understanding of the prophecies that seem to be coming to fruition. Just know that when Solomon said there is nothing new under the sun, he wasn’t kidding. The lies blind us, but the truth is hidden in plain sight. Pray for wisdom and discernment today. If you think your eyes are open, keep digging, because I guarantee you that they aren’t. Just know that if you keep Jesus close to your heart, you will be just fine whether or not you see the truth. 

Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. 2 Chronicles 1:12
