Offertory Prayer

May 26, 2013 – Trinity Sunday/First Sunday after Pentecost God of Love and grace, you created us at our birth, but you continue to create us in our living. Even in death, the journey will not be complete. As we share our gifts this morning, we strive to grow into sacrificial giving. It is when we are challenged that we are shaped, re-formed by you, into the disciples you long for us to be. May the gifts we give and the lives we live display to the world an endurance that produces character and character that produces hope. For we pray boldly, knowing hope that comes from the Holy Spirit never disappoints! In Christ, we pray. Amen. (Romans 5:1-5)

GBOD continues to deliver the full text of each month's offertory prayers via email. You may also find the Offertory Prayers online at www.GBOD.org

Solomon's Gifts, a reflection on 1 Kings 3:3-14

When asked what gift he wanted, Solomon responded "Wisdom, so I can govern better."

God, pleased with this answer and this attitude, gave Solomon what he had asked for and gave him more.

One reading of this passage would be to use it as a reminder of what good leaders need, and what really good leaders think that they need.

Another reading would be to reflect on the riches and honors part. Is that how we tend to measure success? Even more disturbing, is that how we tend to recognize God's approval?
