Solomon had a wonderful peak, he had the "midas touch" and had everything at his reach. He was the wisest and wealthiest of all men, but he hit a downfall like any other man would. It just took one day at a time, and his downfall was happening little by little. No one all of sudden hits their downfall. It happens little by little, each and every day. Whether it is a marriage or a person's character, it does not happen overnight. Solomon was obsessed with sex and brought home women that were not saved. Because, he was with women who were serving other gods, he began to serve those same gods too. Solomon had an empty feeling, after he gained everything in the world. Are you serving your Creator, or like Solomon, have you left Him?

Solomon was not only a wise man, but he was well-rounded. Solomon was proactive and organized in his administration. Solomon was always studying and was a student 24/7. Solomon loved the Lord and gave Him adoration. Solomon was always out of his comfort zone and kept himself busy. Are you well-rounded like Solomon?

What is the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the name "Solomon"? A king who was wise, is the first thing that comes to anyone's mind. God asked Solomon what does he want in life. Solomon could have asked for anything in the world, but he asked for wisdom. Since Solomon asked for wisdom and knowledge, God blessed him with wisdom and much more. Solomon was wise enough to know to not act like a Mr.-Know-it-all. If God has blessed you, don't be ungrateful. Be thankful for your blessings in your life!

We should be living in fear of the Lord. We are merely humans and He is our Creator. Our society today is different compared to "Happy Days'' and "Mayberry". Our society no longer lives in fear of the Lord, because we lack common sense. The fear of the Lord is a healthy relationship, just as when you were growing up and you feared but loved your dad. We should have that same relationship with our Heavenly Father.
