Safety. My immediate, motherly, thought. To keep my family healthy, my kids comforted and protected in safety. I worry about them in this crazy, fallen world all the time and never want them to hurt or be lonely.
He went on to talk about Solomon and when God asked him, Solomon's reply was wisdom. Huh? I'm not a simpleton but I don't care much to go back to college. Who is this old man Solomon? Wisdom. that sounds like a boring, 'unimportant' thing to ask God for. (I know wisdom is important but in the grand scheme of things...) Pastor challenged us to read a chapter in Proverbs everyday. That night I cracked open my bible and was schooled by the Lord Almighty. The very last passage in Proverbs 1 reads...
"but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
Okay, God.
