Solomon was the wisest person who ever lived. First, he was humble enough to know he needed to ask for wisdom. He displayed this wisdom in his words at the dedication of the temple recorded in 2 Chronicles 6 & 7.
God's response to Solomon stands true for each of us today:
"...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." ~2 Chronicles 7:14
Today, let us realize what exactly is holding each of us captive. The desire for more? The yearning for power, money, etc. Let go. Let go. The key to free each of us is in God's Word.
Believe it. Seek God's face today &
become free from captivity!
