While talking with my Spanish tutor I learned something very interesting about the state of mind of some of the Nicaraguan Christians. My tutor was talking about a sermon in her church about Solomon, specifically when God told Solomon that he could have anything he wanted. Well we all know that Solomon picked wisdom over all other earthly things. My tutor went on to explain that in Nicaragua there is not much food, money, or other earthly things, but as Christians they can be like Solomon and pick wisdom. They pray that God will grant them that, and as we see in Solomon´s case it was the wise choice.
So what does this mean to me (us) as a North American. I do not know exactly, but I do realize that it is easier to pick the right choice when you have fewer choices, but being an American I do enjoy my ¨right¨ to choose. I also realize that I do not always ask God for the thing I really need, the thing that will help me bring glory and honor to Him.
