  • Solomon on Solomon

    "Solomon on Solomon"
    Proverbs 28: 13-14
    Rev. Jim Solomon

    True confession requires vulnerability and can feel very risky. But listen to what Solomon says:

    Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
    but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
    Blessed is the one who fears the LORD always,
    but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

    The Way to Life
    Proverbs 3: 1-12

    These are the words of life and peace: do not let steadfast love and faithfulness get away from you. The steadfast love and faithfulness of God extends from his character to the story of our lives. When we live intentionally in covenant with this God, we discover that the paths of our lives are taken into the paths of God. The right roads, of course. As we love and live by God’s Word we feel a sense of peace. We have the wholesome sense of being on the right path. But for those who belong to our covenant keeping God, even the wrong roads we take lead us back to him. God weaves our mistakes and our sins into his deeper, greater work in shaping us by his covenant, faithful love. As Paul said, “Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Romans 5: 20). Though we pay with the coin of tears and regret, we yet reap the riches of God’s mercy even through our sin. For our steadfast God leads us in his paths as he keeps covenant with us down the long road of our life.

  • Wise Rulings

    Solomon did not demonize nor did he minimize. He believed that a mother’s heart for her child is a fierce love shared by women across every descriptive category. He also knew there are some bad mothers, people who give in to jealousy, panic, rage and envy. People who would rather see you fail with them than let you succeed. Solomon knew that human beings are sinful. He knew that human beings are capable of great love. He just needed to cut beneath the rhetoric so the hearts could be revealed. He needed a deeper comprehension than simplistic answers from the right or the left.
