Came to hear

And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon. – 1 Kings 4v34

Word quickly spread about Solomon’s God given wisdom. Everyone came to hear and experience his wisdom. His wisdom drew the attention of the whole known world.

Solomon’s wisdom was so well noted because his wisdom was God’s wisdom. His wisdom was the only perfect wisdom. Man’s wisdom always has a reliance on himself and therefore is always flawed. Sure, men come up with some aspects of wisdom because we are created in God’s image. But there always are flaws. God’s wisdom is never flawed.

It is interesting that while the whole world was drawn by Solomon’s godly wisdom men today are so quick to seek worldly wisdom.

Today we have all of the wisdom of God in His written word. It is that wisdom that will draw men to Him because it is perfect wisdom. It may be questioned and doubter, but a consistent study and application of Bible wisdom will draw men to Him today just as it did in Solomon’s day.
