Six Words From Solomon

Based on scripture, I tried to imagine

how King Solomon might have summed

up his life at the end. God had given him

great wisdom. When Solomon begin his

reign as a young king he ruled with a pure

heart and a great love for God. But in his

later years, he began to change as he

started looking for love in all the wrong

places and married many pagan wives who

turned his heart after other gods and his

heart was not loyal to the Lord his God.

(1 Kings 11:4). He should have practiced

what he preached. The result was God’s

displeasure and a sad end to a previously

exemplary life. Multiple times Solomon

used the word “vanity”(or meaningless) in

Ecclesiastes. This once wise king who had

it all, lost it all, and pondered it all, ended

the book with his final conclusion;

“Fear God and keep His commandments”.

Those are six words worth heeding.
