Pray the Spirit speaks to you
Humbly listen as I talk
Ask for wisdom. Read. Pursue.
Seek to be both fed and taught:
King Solomon loved the Lord
God's house, his palace, what a sight!
Such wisdom! As never seen before!
His judgment turned all things aright!
His fame ended, tragically
As he fell away from his call
Unwisely, declining morally
This is a message for us all
Caught up by the praise of men
Even the Lord's brightest soul
Can be overshadowed by sin
And forget who put him in that role
"Divide the child in half," he shared
When an infant two mothers claimed
His wisdom cut through to emotion
The true mother would want her child saved!
He penned three thousand Proverbs
And composed one thousand songs
Comprehending all that life offers
Helping the quarrelers and the distraught
His wisdom was as measureless
As the sands of the seashore
Wise, beyond himself none the less
For himself he chose to ignore
Wisdom alone is not enough
We all have need of something more
To follow through when times are tough
Obeying the will of the Lord
His heart became tainted by his wives
As a world renown builder none could rival
His loyalty to God was corrupted by their world
For he built shrines and altars for their idols
He made space for their God's in his heart
The very ones at one time Israel destroyed
With his mind much clouded, his fall did start
Compromising his covenants as with evil he toyed
Is it any wonder that one day the temple was destroyed?
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
