Wisdom of Solomon

Listen to this blog.


Here are more
of Solomon’s proverbs.
They were copied by the officials
of King Hezekiah of Judah.

God is praised for being mysterious;
rulers are praised
for explaining mysteries.

Who can fully understand the thoughts of a ruler?
They reach beyond the sky
and go deep in the earth.

Silver must be purified before it can be used
to make something of value.

Evil people must be removed before anyone can rule
with justice.

Proverbs 25:1-5

When you hear words from the leaders of a country, but still wonder what is really going on in their hearts, you know that there is great trouble on the horizon.

When a father tells lies to his children you can easily predict the dysfunctional state that family will soon experience.

We may fully intend to only bend the truth, and only bend it a little. But the truth never bends, it always breaks. Only one step off the edge of a cliff will hurl you to destruction.

When Solomon said that evil people must be removed before anyone can rule with justice he was proclaiming the truth.

When righteous people try to embrace the evil in their land without being changed by it they are sadly confused. The whole lake can be polluted by only a little industrial waste. When a nation declares war on unrighteousness there is hope!

Start today with your own life. Declare war on unrighteousness in your heart. Throw sin out of your life like rotten garbage in a gourmet kitchen. Satan says you must be tolerant, but God says you must not tolerate sin!

The truth of the wisdom of Solomon has not and will not change!
