“And there came of all
people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had
heard of his wisdom.” I Kings 4:34
Solomon’s wisdom was famous throughout
the earth. Even the royalty of other nations recognized his greatness and came
to learn of Him. When talking about Solomon’s wisdom, Jesus said of Himself, “Behold,
a greater than Solomon is here” (Matt. 12:42).
Many today, even the royalty
of our age, will flock to certain “wisdoms” in the world, but are quick to
reject the wisdom of Jesus Christ. But oh, how all people, from kings to common
people, need to sit and hear the wisdom of Christ! His wisdom is complete. It
is valuable. It is all that we need.
Some in Solomon’s day made
long, dusty travels just to hear his wisdom. Are you actively seeking the
wisdom of Jesus? Is it that precious to you? Finally, are you applying the
wisdom you learn from Him to your life?
