(2) At that time the people of Israel sacrificed their offerings at local places of worship, for a temple honoring the name of the Lord had not yet been built.
(2) At that time the people of Israel sacrificed their offerings at local places of worship, for a temple honoring the name of the Lord had not yet been built.
(3) Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the decrees of his father, David, except that Solomon, too, offered sacrifices and burned incense at the local places of worship. (4) The most important of these places of worship was at Gibeon, so the king went there and sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings. (5) That night the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!”

(5) That night the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!”
(6) Solomon replied, “You showed great and faithful love to your servant my father, David, because he was honest and true and faithful to you. And you have continued to show this great and faithful love to him today by giving him a son to sit on his throne.
(6) Solomon replied, “You showed great and faithful love to your servant my father, David, because he was honest and true and faithful to you. And you have continued to show this great and faithful love to him today by giving him a son to sit on his throne.
(7)“Now, O Lord my God, you have made me king instead of my father, David, but I am like a little child who doesn’t know his way around. (8) And here I am in the midst of your own chosen people, a nation so great and numerous they cannot be counted! 9 Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”

(10) The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom. (11) So God replied, “Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies— (12) I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have! (13) And I will also give you what you did not ask for—riches and fame! No other king in all the world will be compared to you for the rest of your life! (14) And if you follow me and obey my decrees and my commands as your father, David, did, I will give you a long life.”

What Do You Want, In Spite Of Your Except?
What Do You Want, In Spite Of Your Except?
How many you know for yourself that God is a God of questions and answer. God will ask you a question with answers imbedded. As Pastor would say a loaded question. A question heavy with meaning or emotional impact….charged with hidden implications . One God’s first questions was to Adam and Eve“Where are you” God already knew where they were just like He knows were we are in our walk with HIM. He asked Moses “Why are your crying out to me? He already told Moses to move forward and lead His people. Or when He asked Ezekiel can these bones live? God was essentially asking him if he had faith in Him to restore the bones.

I have found that many people find this simple question “What do you want” hard to answer. Some can be in a restaurant looking at the menu for 30 mins or more all while stating they are hungry.

Some people are asked in a relationship what do you want but can’t convey in words or actions to their partner what they truly want.
Some can’t answer what they want because they are uncomfortable outright saying what is truly in their heart. But how many of us know God gives us an open door to have a daily dialogue with Him. Behold I have set before you an open door of communication that no man can shut. God desires to hear from us. Yet often He will come to us in varies ways …Through His still small voice, via the rhema word, through open and closed doors, through His people. God is always communicating His will for us.

I would argue that one can’t submit to God’s will until you know your will and you can’t know your will ....until you know God’s will for your life and this is why He often ask “ What do you want?”

I will give you bible.. Hanna wanted a baby... God needed a seer. God gives her a baby. Her baby Samuel would go onto to be one of the most important figures in the old testament. God trusted him to pick Israel's first King. God trusted him to go down to Jesse house and find David to replace the first king. But Samuel would not have existed if Hanna hadn’t decided to answer the question what do you want. Hanna wanted a baby but God needed a judge and King anointer named Samuel.

When we read this passage of scripture in 1 Kings 3 we find a perfect example of God giving the want according to His will. To bring the text into context...Solomon is the king of Israel in succession after his father David. In 1 Kings chapter 3 we find Solomon after he has made an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt by marry Pharaoh daughter. He brings her to live in the city of David until he finished building his palace, the Lord’s temple, and the wall surrounding Jerusalem. Solomon is handed the Kingship because of David his father. The bible indicates Solomon just like his father had a thing for woman. (I am not even going to bother that) (Like father like son) (Stunting like your daddy) that is another message for another time.

When we look at verse 2 it says the people of Israel sacrificed their offerings at a local place some translation say (high place) of worship, for the temple honoring the name of the Lord had not yet been built. When we read in the bible high place it’s not talking about height it indicates alter’s that have been made for other’s gods. The scripture tells us God’s people were offering sacrifices on an alter built for other gods. Verse 3 says Solomon showed his love for the Lord by walking according to the instructions given to him by his father EXCEPT in this area. That means this was an area where Solomon was not following instructions. He offered sacrifices in high places. He is in a place called Gibeon where their are alters for other god’s... offering sacrifices to God. Somebody say....Right thing wrong way. How many of us know about doing the right thing the wrong.

verse 11 says So God replied, Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies. I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have! Did you catch what God was putting down. He said No one has had or will have your blessings. Your blessing is unique to you. In other words when you ask for wisdom not selfish gain it’s some other things that come with wisdom you will not have to ask for. Wisdom will go get what you were trying to get. Solomon never had to pray amiss for resources or material things. Wisdom and a pure heart did that. Have you ever a blessing just jump on you....come find you that is what wisdom will do.

We learned in 1 Kings chapter 3 Solomon is given responsibility to Kingship. And God says listen I am pleased with you ask me for whatever you want in spite of your EXCEPT. When God gives an invitation like that it is because He knows he can trust the heart of the person that they will not ask for anything that will be out of His will. Solomon understood the assignment was bigger than him so he asked for wisdom to lead God’s people. When is the last time we asked for wisdom to lead our homes, to lead on our jobs, to lead in ministry?
