Matthew 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Give me the wisdom and knowledge to lead them properly, for who could possibly govern this great people of yours? (NLT) -2 Chronicles 1:10
If God were to grant you one wish in life, what would you ask for? In this verse, Solomon had the opportunity to be selfish and ask for wealth, fame, revenge, anything. Yet he asked for none of those things, instead he asked for wisdom to be a good leader. Solomon recognized the responsibilities and blessings God had gifted him and asked for God to help him be a wise steward of those blessings. God recognized this selfless act and then rewarded Solomon by granting him wealth and fame. Are you petitioning the Lord to equip you to be a good leader amongst your friends, children, coworkers, and family because of the blessings you have?

My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (NLT) -Galatians 2:20
Have you ever had a difficult time living for Christ? Does it ever feel awkward and forced because you follow a bunch of rules? Try focusing on loving God and letting Him love you. Once you begin to love someone, it's a natural response to want to live for them. Why would it be any different with God? You can only love God when you truly recognize the sacrifice of His selfless love for you.
