That Simple

Chapter 1 in Prophets and Kings: Solomon, was my reading for tonight.
And as I'm reading I came to this part of the chapter:

"The language used by Solomon while praying to God before the ancient altar at Gibeon reveals his humility and his strong desire to honor God. He realized that without divine aid he was as helpless as a little child to fulfill the responsibilities resting on him. He knew that he lacked discernment, and it was a sense of his great need that led him to seek God for wisdom. In his heart there was no selfish aspirations for a knowledge that would exalt him above others. He desired to discharge faithfully the duties devolving upon him, and he chose the gift that would be the means of causing his reign to bring glory to God. Solomon was never so rich or so wise or so truly great as when he confessed, “I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.” "
What humility Solomon the king had to say "I am but a little child ".

Well now I venture to say that the above quote is an example of.... "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.  Matthew 6:33"

It's that simple,.... or is it that simple?
It's simple when my will non-existent and God's will is first and foremost.
The reward is unimaginable, so why not? It doesn't seem that hard?

When self dies daily it's not
