How many times do you see wishing wells? Or perhaps a fountain filled with coins, even at amusement parks, you will notice areas of water where folks have tossed in their coins. Of course, the beautiful Trevi Fountain in Rome must have millions of coins tossed in each year. 

With each coin toss, is there a wish to go with it? Blowing out candles on a birthday cake, do you make a wish first? When you see a shooting star, do you quickly make your wish?

Solomon, King David’s son, was young when he took the throne.  In a dream, God told him he could ask for anything and God would give it to him.  WHAT???? Anything, and it will be granted!  WOW!!!  What would you ask for, if you were Solomon? 

I’m sure you remember Solomon’s answer.  He asked for wisdom. 2 Chronicles 1:11-12 “God answered Solomon, “This is what has come out of your heart: You didn’t grasp for money, wealth, fame, and the doom of your enemies; you didn’t even ask for a long life. You asked for wisdom and knowledge so you could govern well my people over whom I’ve made you king. Because of this, you get what you asked for—wisdom and knowledge. And I’m presenting you the rest as a bonus—money, wealth, and fame beyond anything the kings before or after you had or will have.” 

So, was Solomon just lucky? I believe, we have the same availability in our conversations with God.  He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us, as close as our breath, with unconditional love. According to God’s Will, ^“Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find. The door will be opened to the one who knocks.” If you have a desire, according to God’s Will for you, let that stir in you asking, seeking, and knocking. The Holy Spirit will hear and respond.

My heart wishes for you, God’s blessings.  Jill
