1 Kings 3:10-15
The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. Asked for discernment in administering justice. Solomon did not asked fro long life or wealth fro himself, nor have asked for the death of his enemies.
God said, "I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you. Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for - both riches and honor - so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings."
If you walk in my ways and obey my statutes and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.
It is the choice of a man whose heart is right before God and so he is given more than he asks for.
Solomon will be renowned for wise judgment. His fame will spread far and wide. And his kingdom will enjoy economic prosperity as never before.
Why?
God please one whose heart is right and asks for the discernment heart for justice.
What is my life's priority? Jesus told us seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matt 6:33)
God is my first priority.
All of the goodness is in the hands of the Lord. God is the fountain of blessing.
How?
Walk in God's way and obey his commands, seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.
