LESSONS FROM KING SOLOMON: SENSE, AND, SENSIBILITY...

Solomon, the Wise, and, HIGHLY favoured KING, through time, relinquished his sense, and, sensibility, to his arrogance, passions, and, desires OF this world! He became Wise in his own estimation, thus, he forsake *GOD*!!!

It is unknown, and, mostly, irrelevant, to us, if his favour with *GOD*, brought him to repentance, or, being saved, but, one thing is for sure, his life IS an IMPERATIVE example, and, case study for ALL, in that, his sense, and, sensibility, which, were derived from, and, given, by WISDOM/*GOD*, did NOT survive the onslaught of worldly temptations! Probably due to his self-assured state of comfort in that he was SO exceptional, that, *GOD* would forgive him anything. You see, despite his state of BLESSEDNESS, his egocentric being, obviously, remained affected, thus, under-developed, by the world's offerings...

Spiritual maturity, and, WISDOM, are difficult to come by, and, MUST be maintained, no matter what, BECAUSE, evil will NEVER relent, as, it's sole objective, is to disprove the worthiness of Mankind!!!

Sense, and, sensibility are SAFEGUARDS to what you have acquired, and, will acquire!!!

WHEN one becomes OVERLY assured of their stance with *GOD*, danger IS ever, nearby, and unfortunately, KNOWS our weakest point(s). THUS, we HAVE to REMAIN as if we were just beginning our walk with *GOD*, always; eager, willing, humble, and subject to HIM, ALONE!!!

Regardless of how much we know, we should be astute enough, in WISDOM, to REALIZE, that, in the world, we are NOT safe, without the CONSTANT presence, and, protection of THE LORD! We have to consciously, and, deliberately, desire *GODLY* conscientiousness OVER ALL ELSE, and, FIGHT to retain it!!!

Solomon had great purpose to *GOD'S* plan! His remarkable life, held powerful lessons, for all future generations! One of the most vital is, arrogant self-assurance, towards *GOD*, or life, has NO place in claiming *GODLINESS*: we should take NO gifts of *GOD* for granted, especially with the egocentric being, INSTEAD, we should revere them, and, REJOICE in them, continually, ALL the days of our lives, IN gratitude OF HIS GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, and, benevolences!!!

1 TIMOTHY 1:19...
by having faith and a good conscience. Some, by rejecting conscience, have made a shipwreck of their faith,


1 TIMOTHY 6:12...
Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.


1 TIMOTHY 6:19...
In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.


EPHESIANS 6:10-17...
10/ Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
11/ Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
12/ For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
13/ Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
14/ So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
15/ and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.
16/ In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one.
17/ And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

AMEN! PRAISE THE LORD, our *GOD*, SAVIOUR, HOLY SPIRIT, and, DELIVERER, at ALL times, in ALL ways!!!
