# 1 Kings 03 #soap ## Title: The Best Way to Think About Prayer ## Scripture: (1 Kings 3:7-9) “Now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in my father David’s place, even though I am only a young man and am inexperienced. Your servant stands among your chosen people; they are a great nation that is too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning mind so he can make judicial decisions for your people and distinguish right from wrong. Otherwise no one is able to make judicial decisions for this great nation of yours.”” (NET) ## Observation: Solomon prayed for a gift that would serve others. One of the best ways to think about receiving a gift is as something that keeps on giving. ## Application: When you put others first, God honors you too. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for loving us.
