"In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said unto God.... Give me now wisdom and knowledge... for who can judge this Thy people that is so great? And God said to Solomon.... Wisdom and knowledge are granted unto thee" (2 Chronicles 1:7-12). "Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding... then thou shalt understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom" (Proverbs 2:3-6).
God appeared to Solomon,
And told him to request
Whatever that he wanted done,
And God would do the rest.
What an opportunity
To ask of God in prayer!
Yet God has said to you and me
This privilege is not rare.
If only we will likewise ask,
As Solomon then did,
For wisdom fitted to our task,
Such knowledge won't be hid.
This opportunity is ours!
For God, who made all things
(And as a footnote made the stars),
The same grace to us brings!
Ask: it shall be given you;
Seek and you shall find;
Knock: the door will open to
The wisdom of God's mind!
We need not wait another day
For wisdom now to live.
God's wisdom waits for those who pray,
Which He delights to give.
