He overloaded himself
with hundreds of foreign wives
,whether political or otherwise,
they affected his loyalty to God
He overtaxed his people
and overworked them in labor and army;
visitors from distant lands
came to admire his wisdom but was alienated
from his own people gradually
He accumulated chariots and horses
a huge harem and incredible wealth,
violating God’s commands for a king
He forgot God and embraced pagan influences
He created unrest through his excessiveness
With everything he wanted
Solomon forgot God and allowed
pagan influences to enter his court
through his pagan marriages,
accelerating the spiritual decline
Let’s learn from Solomon
who had clear Instructions
but chose to disregard God’s commands
His commands are always for our good
He knows our strengths and weaknesses
Take God’s Word seriously
Like Solomon, the wisest man ever lived
We are not as strong as we may think
Be thankful for what we have
Give thanks always and for everything!
