God said to Solomon, “Because your greatest desire is to help your people, and you did not ask for wealth, riches, fame, or even the death of your enemies or a long life, but rather you asked for wisdom and knowledge to properly govern my people— I will certainly give you the wisdom and knowledge you requested. But I will also give you wealth, riches, and fame such as no other king has had before you or will ever have in the future!” [2 Chronicles 1.11-12]
God likes it when His people are focused on others and not themselves.
Father, help me to more deeply understand what it means to put the needs of others above my own. May I be found pleasing to You in my faith to put Your Kingdom first - understanding that my life exists for others and not myself.
