Ep. 247: Give Me an Understanding Heart

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 247, “Give Me an Understanding Heart,” Kim discusses the request King Solomon made to the Lord for an understanding heart and the wisdom to know right from wrong. How would your life be different this very day if you believed the promise in James 1:5 and asked the Lord for wisdom and then courageously followed the Spirit’s lead?

 

Our focal passage for this episode is 1 Kings 3:1-15 with verse 9 as the focal verse:

 

9 Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”

WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:

 

Pray for an understanding heart and to know the difference between right and wrong.
