The whole world sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart. 1 Kings 10:24 NIV Bible
Now, God put wisdom in King Solomon's heart, but I was wondering if I have hole in my heart, where wisdom should reside instead? In my mind, another way of phrasing it would be, do I have an emptiness in my heart? The answer is: It varies.
When I read the Bible each day, which is one of the ways I like to start me day, I seem to be more aligned with what the Lord God wants of me. Now, most days I start my day reading the Bible, but on days I zip through the passages I'm reading, while I'm thinking of other things on my "To Do List," my day doesn't seem quite as aligned with the Lord as it should be.
Then, there are the days when I feel overwhelmed with what is on my plate and I kick the can down the road, thinking I'll read the Bible later when I have more time available. You have to know, on those days, almost invariably, I will think later in the day, everything's not just right, like everything is out of "whack" and wonder why. Once I prayerfully ponder this, I realize that it's because I didn't start my day with reading the Bible. Once I do, my life seems back in "whack' again and my day goes on, much more smoothly!
