Solomon asked God for wisdom to rule Israel effectively. God was so pleased with his request that He gave him all he could ever ask for. Supernatural blessing came upon this young king who asked wisely. He showed no motive for personal gain in his prayer. He put others first.

This should be a model for our prayers … putting the well-being of others ahead of ourselves.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.  Phil. 2:3,4
