Theme : " The secret of contemplating the glory of God " Text : 2 Chronicles 1: 10-12
10. Give me therefore wisdom and understanding, that I may know how to lead this people. For who can judge your people, this people so great? 11. God said to Solomon, Since this is what is in your heart, since you ask neither for riches, nor for good, nor for glory, nor for the death of your enemies, nor even for long life, and may you ask for wisdom and understanding for yourself to judge my people over whom I have made you reign, 12. wisdom and understanding are granted to you. Besides, I will give you riches, and riches, and glory, as never had any king before you, nor will any after you.
Let us remember :
Before God, the Christian must keep a low profile. He must measure his appetites and limit his cravings. You must not want to own heaven and earth for yourself; on the contrary, we must ask what would help the people of God to come closer to their Creator. Solomon received the glory from God; he looked at it and felt it. It was the result of a humble, modest prayer from the bottom of his heart; coupled with a sincerity approved by God. When we are young, wisdom and intelligence are not a priority because the impulses of youth bring us back to the discovery of new horizons, success, the desires of the flesh. However, Solomon made the excellent choice which touched the sensitivity, the weak point of God. Let us seek the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness, God will show us his glory. Excellent Saturday. Amen Alain Louz.-
