What would your response be?

What if God said:  "Ask! What shall I give you?"

Can you IMAGINE???  God is directly asking you What HE shall give You??  The Creator of the Universe!  The Creator of Mankind!!! 

What kind of SELFISH answers would we give?

Solomon asked for ONE thing: An understanding heart to judge God's people, that he may discern between good and evil!! 

We have so many choices to make day in and day out.  We have so many people to deal with day in and day out.  Do we even bother to ask God to guide us in those choices?  Do we ask for Daily Wisdom?  Do we ask God to give us an understanding heart? Or do we just make all the decisions on our own and then ask for God's help when we screw up and make the wrong decision?

Matt 6:33 But seek FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.  Psalm 34:10

We bring so much undue stress and problems on ourself because we try to do everything on our own.  We ask for so many selfish things and we use our time so selfishly and just give God what is leftover.

God told Solomon "If you walk before me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statues and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over all Israel forever, as I promised David your father...  But if you or your sons at all turn from  following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statues which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel form the land which I have given them;......  1Kings 9:4-7

How many other gods do we put before GOD?  A god or and idol can be anything we put before our one true God!!  How often does He call our name longing to spend time with us and we say: "not now God I'm watching a movie, not now God I'm on Facebook, not now God I want to sleep just a little longer, not now God I have another load of laundry to do, not now God...."

O God you are my God;
Early will I seek you
My soul thirsts for you
My flesh longs for you
In a dry and thirsty land
Psalm 63

How many opportunities are we missing?  How many special moments alone with God are we missing? How many blessings are we forfeiting?

What would your response be, if God said: ASK!!  What shall I give You?
