Giving Life a Life Preface Credit: The Church of Mythology

1 May 10.1-29

And the queen of Sheba came to see king Solomon, to prove the news that she had heard of the wise king Solomon, and of the rich: and when she saw with her eyes and with her own touch, her heart was exceedingly astonished; and most importantly, she praised the God of Israel, which had seen from the man of God: and Solomon gave all that she had asked, and gave with a broad heart.

Solomon was rich and rich, and every year he offered 23,000 kilograms of gold, and there was gold in his trade. Solomon made shields of gold, and built a large ivory throne, and overlaid them with gold. All the goods were made of gold. Silver was worth nothing in Solomon's day. Therefore King Solomon was greater than any king in the world in wealth and wisdom.

Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and the silver in Jerusalem was like stones; cedars were as abundant as fig trees; Solomon's trade flourished; Solomon, who had wisdom from God to preserve justice and righteousness in ruling over the people; God gave Solomon honor and wealth.

And God promised him fame, and honor, and riches. And this was the promise of God. And Solomon himself exercised the wisdom that God had given to rule the people rightly and justly, and glorified God. And all the kings around her, even Sheba herself, exalted God.

Likewise, God gives us wisdom through the Scriptures so that we can live properly and find prosperity in money, honor, fame, glory, stability, but remember that God gives us these things not for our benefit, but as a blessing for others, to glorify God, to let others see God and know God through our lives, through our money and through our good voice.

May we heed the wisdom of God, which is revealed in the Scriptures, to lead us to live as wise men in the midst of an unstable economy, in the midst of a menacing disease, in the midst of fear of plagues, so that we may have judgment, knowledge of God, that we may observe which is the most precious, that we may be holy and blameless in the day of Christ.
