Got Wisdom?

Tweet In 2 Chronicles 1:7-12, God appeared to King Solomon, son of King David, and told him to "Ask for whatever you want me to give you." Solomon could have asked for ANYTHING he wanted - wealth, long life, power, anything - and what did he ask God for? WISDOM! And God being the just and faithful God was so pleased that King Solomon asked for wisdom to govern God's people, that he was given GREAT wisdom and knowledge. But God didn't stop there.

"You're Doing Too Much!"

Tweet On more than one occasion, I have had individuals tell me that I spend too much time in church, that I give too much in tithes and offerings, that church is too controlling, that I should be out having fun "like everybody else". I've been scoffed at when I mentioned attending 5AM prayer, or especially when I tell people that I frequently get out of bed at 2AM to pray. I've had people literally laugh in my face when I tell them how God has completely healed me of such issues as a serious lung problem (read my testimony here) and a back injury that some have mentioned surgery as possibly being the answer. And when I tell coworkers that I make a regular practice of retreating to the workplace restroom to pray when I'm feeling particularly overwhelmed or can't figure out a complicated problem - and that God gives me the solutions - they look at me as though I'm speaking a foreign language.
The truth is, I can’t afford NOT to live for God.
