Solomon’s Women Part 2

Putting the humor aside, Solomon and his 1,000 women was a serious problem.

First off, it was a violation of God’s Law. Deuteronomy said it was wrong for a king to amass wives because it would pull his heart in wrong directions.

Secondly, that’s exactly what it did! His foreign wives made him weak against the people God said should be driven out. They also led him to worship their stupid false gods.

Once again, we see that God was right.

It’s funny how often people struggle with sin and yet remain busy trying to justify it. They know what God says, but still, it’s so fun and stuff.

Then they get blown to bits with the results and they act stunned.

God does know what He’s talking about. He does. Really. He’s the all-knowing God, which means He knows all.

I don’t know why we struggle with that point so much. God is not mocked, you reap what you sow. Fight the fight of faith and faith comes by hearing God’s Word. Fight to hear it; it’s for your own good.

One thought on “Solomon’s Women Part 2”

  1. One might not choose one’s temptation (the “I was born this way” argument is true of all sinners, after all, even the smart ones), but we do choose our behavior. We are not animals, led helplessly by instinct.

    Yes we are all sinners, the difference between regenerated and unregenerate sinners is repentance.

    God’s grace and His Spirit are mighty to save us and change us – every one of us, and every part of us.

    Solomon choose to turn his back on God and His laws, and he reaped the consequences.
