Second Chronicles chapter 1, verses 10 through 12,

give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people.

For who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?

God answered Solomon, because this was in your heart,

and you have not asked for possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you,

and have not even asked for long life,

but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself

that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king.

Wisdom and knowledge are granted to you.

I will also give you riches, possessions, and honor,

such as none of the kings had who were before you,

and none after you shall have the like.

This is a parallel passage to First Kings chapter 3,

and it's one of the most famous parts of Solomon's life,

one of the beginning of his leadership as king.

He asked for one thing from God, for wisdom and knowledge,

to govern his people well.

I got to have all the things he could have asked.

Imagine you are entrusted with leadership of an entire kingdom,

and you have one thing that you ask for,

is this what you would ask for?
