Hymn: What are the gifts we would treasure most highly
Proper 12 year A
1 Kings 3: 5-12
What are the gifts we would treasure most highly:
freedom or justice or money or wealth;
food for the hungry or drink for the thirsty,
love for our children, or power, or health?
Once God had given a choice to the people:
they could decide to choose life or choose death.
They were encouraged towards life's enhancement,
shunning the ways that would quench life and breath...
