| King Solomon by Gustave Doré Credit: fineartamerica.com |
King Solomon followed his father King David with the family's mix of 'Inspiration' and 'Perspiration'. He was a wise ruler, but he was also flawed. Decadent, and hedonistic, he was not a great role model for Christian virtue. He demonstrated what unchecked power can lead to. But we see the Creator using this king, and their creativity to bless the world. Even today David and Solomon's words are chosen to celebrate the Lord in every church, every Sunday, and every day in between.
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103
PRAYER: In the morning we praise and honour you. At midday we lift your name high. As the sun sets we glorify your name and through the night we meditate on your Word.
