When people are asked what would they want as gifts, most would ask for material things. God was pleased when Solomon asked only for wisdom when asked. God gave him wisdom, but He also blessed him with great resources. It’s sad to consider that most people chase after things that in reality will not satisfy in the end. Many seek things to get joy, but when we please God, He blesses the faithful with wisdom, knowledge and joy. Some are not even aware that God will transfer the wealth of the wicked to the just. Read what King Solomon shared about this: Ecclesiastes 2:26 (JUB) “For God gives to the man that is good in his sight wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to the one that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.” So instead of chasing after things, pursue God and His goodness. When you seek God and His righteousness first, all of the things will be “added” to you!
This is full of revelation!
One of God’s many characteristics is that He is very generous. You can see that in all of creation. Just look at the forests, the rain, the ocean, etc. He is also very generous in wisdom. Proverbs 2:6 (TPT) says: “Wisdom is a gift from a generous God, and every word he speaks is full of revelation and becomes a fountain of understanding within you.” If we ask God for wisdom, He will give it abundantly (James 1:5). Every word He gives us if full of revelation. Did you get that? This is why it is so important to read a verse or two, then stop and think about what was written. You will find that when you meditate or think about what you just read, the Holy Spirit will begin to give a you deeper understanding of what is hidden in those verses. Never rush when you are studying God’s word. Take your time because when you do, more revelation will come forth. His word is a fountain of understanding. And to those that love and desire knowledge from above, God will generously grant it to you. Remember, God’s word contains life, purpose, joy, peace, confidence, strategies and power to overcome any challenge or obstacle you might be facing. Be like David, who loved God’s word. It was said of David, “He is a man after God’s own heart.” What will they say about you?
