And Solomon answered

   all her questions;

there was nothing hidden

              from the king

that he could not

            explain to her.

              1 Kings 10. 3

(When we seek wisdom from God,

indeed even ask for the ability

to think and measure and explore,

God does not just fill our minds

     but changes our hearts.

Solomon could answer

      the Queen of Sheba

      all of her questions,

because he knew that

    God could answer

              all of his own.

God reveals when

                 we are ready.

The wise know that they

      do not know it all,

but know the God who does.

There are always designs

and purposes and answers

we just have not comprehended yet.

The wise know they can

         trust God for the rest.)

 

O LORD,

Please point our hearts

   and our minds to You,

knowing that You know.

You do not conceal from us

    but continually guide us

as circumstances warrant

  and our hearts are ready.

It is foremost not about answers,

   but our relationship with You.

Help us as we walk with You

   to not be distracted,

        but listen and respond.

May we approach these situations,

these struggles,

our weaknesses,

the terribly confusing stuff

                  differently

because we know You.

Grant to us Your wisdom,

align our hearts with Yours,

fill our arsenal with Your grace.

Help us to direct it

                   to You,

        whatever it is.

Even today,

   may we trust You in this.
