behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. 1 Kings 3:12 (NKJV)
Here God grants King Solomon’s request for an understanding heart -1 Kings 3:9. What Solomon had asked so pleased the Lord – 1 Kings 3:10 that He gave him also what he hadn’t asked for which is riches and honor -1 Kings 3:13.Then the Lord added on that if Solomon walks in God’s ways or wisdom, He would lengthen his days – 1 Kings 3:14.Above everything else, desire a wise and understanding heart. It’s what pleases God and it’s what brings wealth, honor, and long life -Proverbs 3:13,16.
