2 Chronicles 1:1-17

Today’s Reading is 2 Chronicles 1:1-17.
If you had one wish that God would grant you what would it be?
Solomon chose wisdom. But God didn’t stop just there: “And in addition, I will give you more wealth, treasure, and fame than any king has ever had before or will ever have again.”
That gives some perspective to a couple of new testament references that come to mind:
John 18:38 “And what is truth?” Pilate asked.
Matthew 6:31-33 So do not start worrying: “Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?” (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.
It has happened before! It will happen again!
