• Be strong, brave, and obedient to God

• How did God speak to Solomon? (1 Kings 3:5)

• What did King Solomon asked for? (1 Kings 3:9)

• wisdom to judge the people and know right from wrong

What did Jesus say? (Matt 6:27-33)• Why do you worry about life and clothes?

• “Don’t worry. Don’t say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ People who are ungodly run after all of

those things. Your Father who is in

heaven knows that you need them.

•But put God’s kingdom first. Do

what he wants you to do. Then ALL of those things will also be given to you.”
