DAY 38/366 1 Kings 11:4 For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David. In many quarters, old age is synonymous with wisdom hence the proverb "what an... Continue Reading →
DAY 211 1 Kings 3:10 And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.

Attempting to reasonably convince another that he thought only about what to say after God asked... Continue Reading →
