Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from March 4, 2026
Solomon’s prayer in 1 Kings 3 shows a leader who knows everything he has comes from God and that God’s people do not belong to him. Instead of asking for wealth, power, revenge, or an easier life, he asks for a listening heart—wisdom to discern rightly and serve God’s people with justice. That request pleases the Lord, and God gives him both the wisdom he asked for and the blessings he did not ask for, reminding us that when we seek God’s heart first, He provides what we truly need. The takeaway is simple: the best prayer is not “Lord, build my kingdom,” but “Lord, give me the heart and wisdom to serve You and the people You’ve placed around me.” - Rick Cornejo - Wednesday, March 4, 2026
