In a small village lived a man who was known throughout the area for his wealth. One day, this man decided to buy a luxury car. He carefully drove the car home and parked it in the garage. He spent many hours with the car, admiring it. Despite the car, he was not satisfied. He constantly feared that the car might be scratched or even stolen. His enjoyment of the car became less and less as he was plagued by fear more and more every day.
One day, while the man was working in his garden, he saw a group of birds flying around happily and perching in the trees. He watched as the birds carelessly spread their wings without a care in the world, feeding on the fruits and insects that nature offered them. The man thought and remembered the words from the Bible that he had heard as a child:
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:26
These words struck him. He realized that he had dedicated his life to the pursuit of wealth and security instead of focusing on what was really important: trust and gratitude to the one who gave him all his needs. Jesus. The birds had only shown him the first step, but Jesus Christ was the way that led him to true peace and a fulfilled life.
What treasures are you looking for in your life, and to what extent do you trust that God will accompany and provide for you on your journey?

When the first Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin announced in 1961 that he had not seen God in space, a twelve-year-old girl from Gothenburg in Sweden wrote him the following: “Dear cosmonaut Gagarin, I have heard that you have been in space and say that you have not seen God. May I ask you if you have a pure heart?” (Matthew 5, 8)
Apollo 15 astronaut James Irwin had a completely different reaction. He said: “I realized on the moon that it was more important that Jesus Christ put his foot on the earth than man put his foot on the moon!”
He went on to say: “We only ever see what our heart allows us to see. We can see God’s glory, his love and his blessings – in space and on earth – when we have God in our hearts. In my life, I have experienced time and again how God has met me and spoken to me.”
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Matthew 5, 8

How happy are you in your heart?

It’s often those moments when we’re at full throttle, when our body and mental strength suddenly fail. Suddenly we buckle and the battery fails. – It can happen to anyone!
In a car, we bridge the gap quickly by cable, but in humans this process is time-consuming, individual and complex.
Draining the battery often begins with compensating for personal weaknesses with extreme performances. You could compare it to an unsuccessful balancing act on a tightrope.
Those who can say yes to their strengths and weaknesses are less at risk. Those who constantly put down deep roots in a healthy relationship with God can draw on them in difficult times.
Allow yourself to be supplied with God’s strength on a regular basis. This will give you peace in the midst of stress. The biblical Psalms are a practical treasure trove.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
Jeremiah 6:16
How do you charge your battery?

Stell dir vor, du hättest einen Wunsch frei. Genau einen. Spannend, aber auch gar nicht so einfach. Wo würdest du anfangen? Und wie entscheidest du, welcher Wunsch wirklich zählt?
Vielleicht würdest du zuerst alles sammeln, was dir in den Sinn kommt. Wünsche, Träume, Ideen. Schritt für Schritt würdest du aussortieren, bis nur noch das bleibt, was dir wirklich wichtig ist. Aber führt dieser Weg tatsächlich zum besten Wunsch?
In der Bibel gibt es eine bemerkenswerte Geschichte. In 1. Könige 3, 1–15 bekommt König Salomo von Gott genau diese Möglichkeit: Er darf sich etwas wünschen. Salomo hat viel erlebt und von seinem Vater David gelernt. Und statt nach Macht, Erfolg oder Sicherheit zu fragen, bittet er um Weisheit. Um ein Herz, das unterscheiden kann, was gut und richtig ist.
Ein ungewöhnlicher Wunsch. Und vielleicht gerade deshalb ein so starker Gedanke. Was wäre, wenn Weisheit auch heute noch ein Schlüssel wäre, um gute Entscheidungen zu treffen – im Alltag, in Beziehungen und im Leben insgesamt?
«Als Salomo im Heiligtum übernachtete, erschien ihm der Herr im Traum und sagte zu ihm: Wünsche dir, was du willst; ich will es dir geben!»
1. Könige 3, 5
Stell dir vor, du hättest bei Gott einen Wunsch frei. Was würdest du dir wünschen?

Wow, that’s it?
Imagine being given something you have been dreaming of for a long time. Where should you begin? How are you going to make sure you pick the best wish?
Why not make a list of all your dreams and cross out those that aren’t as important? The goal is that only the big dreams will remain. Did you choose the “best” dream?
It is worthwhile to quickly read the story from 1 Kings 3:1-15 and to think about what is happening. God, Himself gives the intelligent King Solomon one wish. He had witnessed many things and learned from his father David over the years. Solomon decided to ask for wisdom. Such a gift cannot be surpassed.
“That night the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!”
1 Kings 3:5 NLT
