A well-known professor says that if a fairy were to offer him a choice of gifts for his baby boy, he would choose—what? "A good digestion!"
Friend, for what would you ask?
Solomon, the wisest of men, tells of a dream he had. In it God said to him: "Ask what I shall give thee."
Do you know what he chose? "A wise and understanding heart."
This pleased God and He added riches and honor. "And Solomon awoke and behold it was a dream."
Was this a disappointment to King Solomon? No. Solomon believed God and expressed his gratitude by thank offerings. His faith was rewarded, as it always will be.
Listen: "This is the witness of God which He hath testified of His Son... He that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life-is in His Son." {vi 30634-30636}1 John 5:9-11.
Have you thanked God for His many daily mercies to you? Why not?
"Thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness." Neh. 9:17.
Oh, LOVE that now extendeth
A pardon full and free,
And bends with eyes of mercy
On sinners such as we.
