Doing RIGHT in Everything

2 Chronicles 8 & 9

Inspired thots

Solomon reigned well with God foremost in his heart; he rebuilt the cities for his people to dwell in after 20 years of reign. He did not make any Israelite as slaves but put them in high positions of service. He honored God who is holy by bringing out his Egyptian wife to another house. He offered the required sacrifices and God blessed him with riches and wisdom; more than any other king of his time.

The Queen of Sheba came to seek his wisdom and she was not disappointed. In a way, Solomon testified of God's greatness to her through his hospitality and show of wisdom. She went back fully convinced of God's hand of grace and blessing upon Solomon and Israel.

What a wonderful testimony to people when we walk in the ways of God! How good if our testimony leaves "no more spirit" in those who see our godly lifestyle. Help us Lord!
