God Bestows Heavenly Treasures upon Those Who Seek for His Glory and the Good of Others ㅡ
“In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.”
(1 Kings 3:5, 9-11, 13, 14)
It is by honoring God and obeying His commands that a man is made truly great.
Our petitions to God should not proceed from hearts that are filled with selfish aspirations.
God exhorts us to choose those gifts that will redound to His glory.
He would have us choose the heavenly instead of the earthly. He throws open before us the possibilities and advantages of a heavenly commerce.
He gives encouragement to our loftiest aims, security to our choicest treasure.
When the worldly possession is swept away, the believer will rejoice in his heavenly treasure, the riches that cannot be lost in any earthly disaster.
(Conflict and Courage 189)
