1 Kings 3:4-13; Psalm 119B; Mark 6:30-34

Be careful what you ask for

In today’s first reading, Solomon asked for wisdom, and received it. He also received other things he might have asked for, but did not. Now that the Holy Spirit is with us, we don’t need to rely on the Lord appearing to us in a dream – we can just turn to him in prayer. Nevertheless, the question remains - what would you ask for?
