In scripture, we read about Solomon (Shlomo), whom God asked and granted one request. The answer of his desire was wisdom, and God gave it to him. Perhaps, some was learned as much as initially given, but it got me thinking...
If, one day, God said, "Ask of me any one thing, and I will do it for you." What would you ask for?
For me, initially, my thought and response was fear. That I would never again be afraid, and therefore, never be ruled over or swayed by fear...because so many of us, Christian or not, just seem dominated by it.
On the flip side, I suppose I was asking for bravery or courage, but those tend to be overcoming fear. I understand this value, but would prefer never to fear anything under any circumstance in the first place. That's just me, though. What about you?
