Pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened
in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of
his glorious inheritance in the saints.

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Heaven
is something we see with our heart. When we are discouraged, doubtful, and
depressed, we need to have the eyes of
our hearts "enlightened." The dawn needs to rise in our darkness, and
then we will see the dawn of hope and
the riches of our inheritance. But when things look bad, the only way to
remember these things is to sing them,
pray them, and read God's promises of them.
MY PRAYER
O
God, you are my Hope. I trust in you and
your promises. But I admit that at times, like even right now, I struggle with
the confidence that you will act in response to my prayers and do what I've
trusted you with my life to do. Please fill me with your Spirit, comfort my
doubts, and kindle my passion so that I may serve you with boldness and share
your grace with others. Through my Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.
Ask For Wisdom
Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to
judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to
judge this great people of Yours?

Kings 3:9
When
Solomon became king, he was only a young man of about 18 years old. He had big
shoes to fill as David’s successor to the throne. So when the Lord appeared to
him in a dream and asked him what he wanted, he asked the Lord for wisdom to
lead the people. This request pleased the Lord.
I
believe that the same request that pleased the Lord then still pleases Him
today. He is pleased when we ask Him for wisdom. To ask Jesus for wisdom is to
put ourselves in a posture of trusting and depending on His unmerited favor.
Although
Solomon only asked for wisdom, the Lord added “riches and wealth and honor” to
him (2 Chronicles 1:12). Too many people are chasing riches, wealth and honor,
not realizing that they come through the wisdom of Jesus. Even if someone were
to come into sudden wealth, without the wisdom of Jesus to manage it, the money
would be squandered away. But with the wisdom of Jesus, you won’t only be
blessed, you will also be able to hold on to the blessings in your life. Jesus
makes you safe for good success that produces lasting and abiding fruit from
generation to generation!
