Week of March 8-14
"So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?" [1 Kings 3:9]
After David's death, Solomon steps into the enormous responsibilities as God's anointed. When confronted by God with the invitation "Ask, and I will give it to you!" (3:5), Solomon replies with our memory verse for this week. (3:9) God also provides the things Solomon could have asked for but didn't: wealth, victory, fame and long life.
NOTE: The NLT Bible states: "For who BY HIMSELF is able to govern this great nation of yours?"

Many years ago,a mentor of mine taught me to "pray scripture" for people. When I pray this week's verse, I insert the names of those in leadership. (government, church, school,etc.) For example: "So give ____ a discerning heart..."
Have a blessed day-
