Solomon's Gift (Paperback)

Paperback. There are times in every Christian's life where they wished they had more than they do. It seems to be a trait of everyone, Christian or not. The question is not about having more, the question is: what would you do if you had more. More than you ever dreamed of. More than you could possibly think or wonder about. What would you do if you had so much it overflowed into the streets?You see, that is the story of Solomon. He never asked for the money. He never desired to have the money. So why did God give it to him if he didn't want or need it? That is the question we explore in this book. Why? Why do we want more than we have and what would we do with more if we had it? Solomon never asked, but God gave him beyond anything he could ever dream of having. What remains is this: what did he do with what God gave him? Come along with us on this journey of discovery into God's great gift.There are times in everyone's life where more is not an option. And by more, I mean, money. What do we need more money for. How do we get more money so we can be doing the things we think we need to be doing using the money we think we need. That is the long way, of course, saying that we need to trust our own judgement instead of God's, because trusting God means we are going to let God tell us what we need, when we need it, and why!Any other form of "Getting more money" is our way of saying we don't trust God to get what we need, when we need it, for the purposes we need to have it. When it is us who are determining what we need, the means we think we need to employ to get it, and the use of it after we have gained what we have sought, is our way of saying we are better at this than God.That brings us to Solomon!!! Did he ask God for money? NO! Did he offer to do anything to get God to give him more money? NO! So, how did he get the money he didn't ask for and surely didn't need? Because that is the story of Solomon and it is God's story to us. The long way, of course, saying that we need to trust our own judgement instead of God's, because trusting God means we are going to let God tell us what we need, when we need it, and why!
