Queen of Sheba

10/29/2014

1 Kings 10:1-29 Click here for the reading
Picture
So the queen of Sheba shows up to test Solomon's wisdom, she is impressed and the response in Scripture is that Solomon goes on a vanity fair with collecting things and making everything ornate.

Solomon is becoming quite the King! Partnerships and influence expand his kingdom.  And maybe that becomes the issue.  Solomon begins to think of it as his kingdom instead of God's kingdom.

Given the background of this story and all that came before it I am reminded of the words of Jesus: "I tell you, not even Solomon and all of his glory was not arrayed like one of these lilies in the field."
