Wandering From Wisdom

READ: 1 Kings 3:4-14

Give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. —1 Kings 3:9

If God offered you anything you wanted, what would you ask for?

When Solomon was given that choice, he asked for the wisdom to discern good from evil so that he might lead God’s people well (1 Kings 3:9). “Because you have asked this thing,” God told Solomon, “I have done according to your words.” He even promised to give him “both riches and honor” (vv.11-13). To this day, Solomon is remembered for the great wisdom God gave him.

Solomon began his rule with devotion to wisdom and a deep ambition to build a magnificent temple to honor God. But something happened along the way. His passion for living by God’s wisdom was displaced by the allures of the wealth and position God had given him. His marriage to foreign women who worshiped pagan gods eventually led him—and ultimately the nation—into idolatry.

The lesson is clear. Keeping our love for Christ and His wisdom preeminent is a primary objective for those of us who want to live to satisfy God throughout the course of our life. A commitment to following the riches of God’s wisdom will enable us to avoid the drift that destroyed Solomon.

Keep your heart in tune with God’s wisdom and obey His voice. That’s the way to finish well.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above. —Robinson

Monitor your heart daily to avoid wandering from God’s wisdom.

With Deep Sorrow I have to post my Grams obituary, Gram (Zellah B. Thompson) went home to be with the Lord on September 1st 2007 barely three months shy of her 101st Birthday. We will be leaving tomorrow morning for Massachusetts for her Memorial Service, it's an 8 hour drive. Sunday I will be giving her eulogy at her life long Church. So I will be missing in action for the next couple of days.

I feel sorrow but at the same time I feel comforted that we had her for almost 101 years and also that my visit with her last year gave me confidence that she knew Jesus, I asked her and we Prayed together. See you all when I get back.
