1 Kings 10:1-29; Jeremiah 18:1-23; Philippians 3:1- 4:1
Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard. 1 Kings 10:7
This visit by the Queen of Sheba to see Solomon’s glorious kingdom was far from what she had expected. She saw firsthand Solomon’s fame. His wealth, His wisdom, and how he went up to the house of the Lord captivated her attention and testified to the greatness of his kingdom. So too, it shall be for anyone who looks closely at Christ. You too, shall believe when you come and see for yourself. Behold, a greater than Solomon is here! —Mark Kolchin
His glory broke upon me when I saw Him from afar,
He’s fairer than the lily, brighter than the morning star;
He fills and satisfies my longing spirit o’er and o’er,
Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before. —W. Martin
