Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God! Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.

King Solomon was one of the greatest kings of Israel. During his reign, Israel experienced a great time of peace and prosperity. In 2 Chronicles 2, we see that Solomon asked the Lord for wisdom to rule the people, and in response to this request, God blessed him with riches and honor like no other before or after. Solomon's wisdom was known throughout the world, and rulers like the queen of Sheba came to hear his words and see his wealth. Much like Solomon, God has blessed every one of us with something. It may not be the great power and wealth that Solomon had, but everything we have can be used for Him. When we use our time, money, or words to be a blessing, we are living out the Gospel and bringing glory to God. Today, look for opportunities to bless others. As you do this, others around you will take notice and, like the queen of Sheba, will proclaim, "Blessed be the Lord your God." Life Lesson: God blesses us so we can be a blessing to others. Dear God,
