What Is Solomon's Problem?

1 Kings 11:1-13 and 26-43

I think that we finished reading about Solomon. Dad read Deut. 17:14-17 as the key to Solomon's demise.

Solomon had everything for a good life- riches, wisdom, education, and lots of family. Yet he still went wrong. Why?

As you guys go through life, what will be your demise? Lack of money? Lack of the right spouse? Lack of a college degree? No, no,no.

Solomon's problem was his heart. Deut. says that we must not let our hearts turn away from God.

Where is your heart today? What are you seeking? Riches and wisdom and education and family are VERY nice. Just keep a pure heart, loving God, smiling through the day that you belong to the King, trying to honor His statutes and His commandments.

And He will bless you beyond ANYTHING that you can think or imagine. He blesses me with peace today. May He bless you with His peace.

Beth's question during devotions- "Did God know that Solomon would go wrong?"

Anyone care to offer her your answer?
