Solomon Finally Rejected
Wisdom From God.

'Emptiness, emptiness...all is empty...and
chasing the wind,' wrote Solomon, in his day;

Sad, eternal life within himself was never realized,
He chose to end in an idolatrous worldly way.

'In much wisdom is much vexation and the more
a man knows, the more he has to suffer', he wrote.
I agree, and to most of the other things he said.

Gratefully, it is through righteous sufferings that human
Lives progress towards The Christ, and invited to
The eternal marriage of the Lord, or to him are wed.

Solomon acquired almost everything he desired,
Wisdom, even madness and folly, and still complained;
Finally he veiled himself under a restrictive mesh.

Generations later, life's purpose was clearly revealed:
That created man, can become a new creation,
Perfected, though inheriting Adam's sin, in flesh.

But Solomon wrote:
'The lot of man is only to enjoy eating and drinking'.
God said: 'He chose the foolish things of the world,
That He might put the wise men to shame'.

And this is what a relatively foolish thing has to say:
If Solomon had listened to wisdom, his end
Would not have resulted in worshipping false gods,
With emptiness his own self-destructive aim.

(1 Kings 11:1-13)

Solomon left a sad spirit of hopelessness for people when he wrote that all life on earth is emptiness. If that were true, acquiring wisdom would be of no benefit. These verses may help readers to understand that unless the basic precepts of faith are understood, followed, and loyally obeyed, wisdom cannot benefit us. Solomon was the instrument God used to channel a measure of His wisdom to, in an impartial way as to future choices he may make. We can rejoice and be grateful in having such great wonders from our God made available.
