Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • God offers anything at all, and is delighted by what Solomon picks. What does that show you about God?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • Solomon says he is only a child who does not know how to lead. Why is knowing what you lack a good place to start?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What will you ask God for this week — and is it the right thing to ask for?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who could you ask for advice this week instead of guessing?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, Solomon could have asked for anything and he asked to be wise. Thank you for giving generously. Help me want the right things.
