ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE




QUEEN OF SHEBA ORCHID, genus Thelymitra



1st KINGS
CHAPTER 10

When the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon and his relation to the name of the LORD, she came to test him with hard questions. Arriving at Jerusalem with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all that she had on her mind. Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her. When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon and the palace he had built, the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of the LORD, she was overwhelmed.

She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told me; in wisdom and wealth you have far exceeded the report I heard. How happy your men must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! PRAISE BE TO THE LORD YOUR GOD, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of THE LORD’S ETERNAL LOVE FOR ISRAEL, he has made you king, to maintain justice and righteousness.”

And she gave the king 120 talents of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones. Never again were so many spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for, besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country.

Let’s leave that a double entendre.

A man should know—and be prepared to admit—his limitations.

If you know a four letter word for “intercourse” that ends with “k”, and isn’t ‘dirty’ ...

you might be a Turtle.

Are you a Turtle?

I usually don’t mind the medievalization, or europeanization, of Biblical scenes ... for some reason in this case it kind of turns me off. IMO 13 & 14 best capture the spirit of things.

No idea to what you are referring. Moreover, I seem apathetic about it.

No worries ... just thought I’d ask.

The word, of course, is “talk”. ;’}

Thanks! And if you’re running a ‘ping list’ for these threads, feel free to add me.

I do maintain a Ping List—there is a notice at the bottom of every thread, which you’ve overlooked.

I’ve added you as Pingee #60. You can expect an average of five pings each week, which is all I can manage. Your first will be tomorrow, Lord willing.
