#soap # 2 Chronicles 01 ## Title: The Million Dollar Question ## Scripture: (2 Chronicles 1:10) “Now give me wisdom and discernment so I can effectively lead this nation. Otherwise no one is able to make judicial decisions for this great nation of yours.” (NET) ## Observation: Have you ever watched the old TV show, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” It is a show where the contestants have a series of increasingly difficult trivia questions. If they answer the hardest question, they receive a million dollars. There is no way of knowing if Solomon truly realized the million dollar question God posed to him. Imagine if the richest man in the world said you could have one wish granted. What would you ask for? All your debts paid? All your enemies punished? Would you want to work for him or become a social media influencer? Solomon wanted to be faithful with what God had already put in his hands. He wanted to honor the people of God. This could be seen as the equivalent of asking the richest man in the world to pay off all the debts of your friends and not yours. Wow! How much more amazing is it to be asked such a question by the King of the Universe?! When we live to honor others, God will grant our request and so much more. ## Application: Don’t seek promotion. Seek to be promotable. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for helping us have a pure heart that seeks to honor You and Your people.
