1 Chronicles 1:7-12
Solomon's heart is right in line with God's will when he is asking for wisdom. He is concerned for God's people and how he will lead them. He humbled himself and recognized that in and of himself he could not lead the people. He needed God's help.God said to him "because this is your heart...." Solomon was not looking for gain of his own. Selfish ambition was put aside and he desired to lead the people in a way that was pleasing to the Lord. And God granted Solomon riches and wealth as well as wisdom. God does abundantly more than we think!
When asking of God. What is our ambition? Is it for self gain? Is it for God's purpose in our lives?
Look at James chapter 3:13-17
