The Wisdom and Fall of Solomon
Solomon was the wisest
man of all!
But even his wisdom didn’t
prevent him from taking a fall.
The wisdom of God he
began disobeying.
By the many foreign women
he began marrying.
Even in all of his splendor,
glory and wealth
It didn’t add anything to his
“spiritual health.”
He built temples in honor
to foreign idols.
Neglecting the true God
of the Bible!
All of his wisdom
couldn’t prevent him.
From God’s judgment coming
Against him!
May this be a stern warning
for me and you.
That our commitment to God
remain faithful and true!
All of this world’s wisdom
can't save your soul.
But Jesus loves you more
than you'll ever know!
Accept his gift of salvation
before it's too late.
So you don't end up as Solomon!
With a similar fate!
