Teaching Notes

Some times when you are in a race, you can become very tired and need to take a quick rest. These runners were not out of the race, they were taking advantage of the resting time. God gives us times between our trials and tribulations to rest. We should rest so that we can be refreshed when it is our turn to get back in the race. (Picture taken by Joselyn Williams).

Godly Wisdom

1 King 3:15 (The Message)

Solomon woke up—what a dream! He returned to Jerusalem, took his place before the Chest of the Covenant of God, and worshiped by sacrificing Whole-Burnt-Offerings and Peace-Offerings. Then he laid out a banquet for everyone in his service. - 1 King 3:15


Notes: Solomon after having his dream about what he had before the Lord, went quickly to be before the Lord. He took sacrifices and offered them unto the Lord. He also gave a banquet for everyone that was in his service.



Question: When God has shown us the answer to a request, what should be our response?


Answer: We should move quickly to worshipping him. We should move quickly to offering a sacrifice to him. Our sacrifice should be of ourselves, our yielding our lives to him. When God gives you the answer to a concern of your heart, you should quickly move to worshipping him for his goodness and for his love to you. You should also quickly move because if you linger, the enemy will try to make you think that God did not tell you what he did. He will try to discourage you from trusting in what God said he can do through you.



Prayer: Lord today, thank you for answering prayers. Thank you for giving me the answers to my questions. And when you answer God, help me to move quickly to do what you show me I should do. Help me to move quickly so that I will not give the enemy those things that I need to help me.
