I believe it was because God knew what each would do and there was no need to warn David of the consequences. God knew what each of us would do before we were ever conceived, and is able to plan accordingly, but still leaves it up to us what we will do. What a wonderful God we have.

Wisdom is far better than precious rubies, and His wisdom surpasses all, for He knows everything, past, present and future. Not only that, but He loves us infinitely and has all power to accomplish what He knows is best for us. Praise Him indeed!<br />Thank you for your lovely words of encouragement and shared experience, and may God bless you richly!<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-61495197014006574922016-10-10T03:59:51.488-07:002016-10-10T03:59:51.488-07:00Hi Laurie,
I remember when I first was born again,...Hi Laurie,<br />I remember when I first was born again, one of the first scriptures highlighted to me by the Holy Spirit was the question that God asked Solomon in 2 Chronicles ch. 1. Another was Matthew ch. 6 about first seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things needed will be added. I have to say that I could not have chosen better than to ask for wisdom and knowledge, as His ways and thoughts are not like ours. I have to say that God has kept His promise regarding supplying all that I have needed. Praise His lovely name. How could we want for more.<br /><br />God bless you Laurie, enjoyed your post bringing back those memories to me, and reminding me that all things are possible when we trust God in Jesus.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-18170739418302639062016-10-09T16:27:41.584-07:002016-10-09T16:27:41.584-07:00Dear Frank,

It is difficult to know what we would ask for if given the opportunity face to face, although John tells us that if we abide in Him, and His Word in us, we can ask anything and it will be granted. Claiming that promise, I ask to be in the center of His perfect plan for my life. Thanks as always for your encouragement and insights.<br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-44296597171560447692016-10-09T08:04:30.677-07:002016-10-09T08:04:30.677-07:00Dear Laurie,
One of the amazing things about those...Dear Laurie,<br />One of the amazing things about those chroniclers who narrated history is that they must have rejoiced in witnessing the whole nation of Israel as it reaches its pinnacle of glory, never to be repeated until into the future, after the Second Coming of Christ. <br />When given the opportunity for Solomon to ask God for anything he wanted, he made the right choice for putting the welfare of the nation before his own needs. Such a reminder through your blog has set me thinking on what would I have wanted if God had offered the same opportunity to me. Would I had asked for a life of international travel, longevity and good health?<br />Or would I have asked for wisdom on how to nourish our marriage, improve my relationship with my church, and to be at peace with all men everywhere?<br />An excellent blog, which I eagerly await the next instalment.
