    As the season of gift giving approaches, we hear people asking the question “What gift would you like this year?”  Usually this inquiry comes from parents or grandparents and it is usually addressed to the youngsters among us.  But in I Kings 3:5-15 we find the account a young man, Solomon, who at no more than 18 finds himself being asked by God, “What shall I give you?”

A survey on teen ethics asked nearly 30,000 high school students about their moral standards and behavior. Some of the results: 25% admitted to stealing from parents, relatives or friends during the past year; 33% said they had shoplifted; and 64% said they had cheated on at least one test.
