We have a tendency to grab ahold of the things we like from scripture, and to ignore the things we don’t. We laud Solomon for asking for wisdom (1Kings3:7-9), and point to the resulting splendor that accompanied that gift (1Kings10:23-24), while ignoring the over-arching point of the entire narrative, which is that because Solomon failed to live wisely (1Kings11:6), he was ultimately rejected by God (1Kings11:11). In missing this significant lesson, many prominent ministers of the Lord have followed in Solomon’s footsteps.
