Solomon ask for WISDOM. What a profound thing to ask GOD for. Not riches, wealth or long life. Those are things that we who live in the present age on this earth ask GOD for and then get disappointed when we can't obain those things. But if we focus on GOD and the things of GOD(reading the word, prayer, fasting, doing good to someone other than ourselves, etc) we can obtain all that GOD has in store for us. The bible tell us to seek HIS face and turn from our wicked ways, then GOD would heal the land. So let us ask for the WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE from GOD and all other things will follow. AMEN.
I know for a fact after being happy after something seem's to be working out in this present world, and lot's of time's it just last for a short time. I know personally if I would concentrate on the world to come and what is in it and just try to live the life God want's us to live now while we are in the present world and look forward to what he has for us in the world to come or heaven that we won't get so disapointed so much and could get a lot more done without all the depression. When thing's are going good for a while and then they seem to mess up if we would just be looking forward to the perfect world in heaven then the disapointment would not be so great or even have a compact on us cause we are focacing on God's world in heaven.
