Fire Starter 7.5.22

Justin Baker • July 5, 2022

Good morning, thank you for taking your time to read this Fire-starter.
Out Fire-starter comes from 2 Chronicles 1. Our Fire-starter thought is:
the greatest thing you can ask for!!!!

Solomon has just been placed in the position as king and God asked him
what his request was and he said wisdom and knowledge.

The greatest request is not riches, honor, and ability. The greatest is
wisdom. Why is wisdom the greatest thing to ask for?
Simply wisdom is putting knowledge to work. See you can have knowledge
without wisdom but you can’t have wisdom without knowledge.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom proverbs 9:10 states.
In Proverbs 9 he states what wisdom does. Wisdom Works!!!!
The Bible states in James If any man lack wisdom let him ask of God…

Need wisdom this morning? Talk to the Heavenly Father that gives wisdom!!!

Hope you have a great day today!!!

2 Chronicles 1:1-17 KJV
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the
Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. [2] Then
Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of
hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the
chief of the fathers. [3] So Solomon, and all the congregation with him,
went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle
of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made
in the wilderness. [4] But the ark of God had David brought up from
Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had
pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. [5] Moreover the brasen altar, that
Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the
tabernacle of the Lord : and Solomon and the congregation sought unto
it. [6] And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the Lord,
which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand
burnt offerings upon it. [7] In that night did God appear unto Solomon,
and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. [8] And Solomon said unto
God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me
to reign in his stead. [9] Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David
my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like
the dust of the earth in multitude. [10] Give me now wisdom and
knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can
judge this thy people, that is so great? [11] And God said to Solomon,
Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth,
or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long
life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest
judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: [12] Wisdom and
knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth,
and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before
thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. [13] Then
Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to
Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned
over Israel. [14] And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had
a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen,
which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
[15] And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as
stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the
vale for abundance. [16] And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt,
and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
[17] And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for
six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty:
and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and
for the kings of Syria, by their means.
