Solomon: The Wise King

August 3, 2025

Ever wonder how the smartest person in the world could still end up making some of the biggest mistakes? That's the story of King Solomon. He had it all—wisdom, wealth, and power—but his life is a fascinating puzzle that invites us to ask a question: What's the difference between having all the answers and truly being wise?

His journey challenges us to look beyond our own successes and question what we're really devoted to. Are we building a life that lasts, or are we just getting distracted by the shiny, temporary things along the way? The story of Solomon isn't just about a king from a long time ago; it's a mirror that reflects the choices we all face today.
