Read:
Solomon asked God for wisdom, and God gave him so much of it that people traveled from other nations to hear him speak. If anyone knew what faithfulness looked like, it was Solomon.
Wisdom didn’t keep Solomon faithful, though. Over time, the many wives he married turned his heart toward other gods. Scripture says it plainly: he wasn’t “completely faithful to the LORD his God” (1 Kings 11:4, NLT). It didn’t happen overnight. It was a slow drift.
Most of us don’t have a knowledge problem. We know what we should do, and we’re not doing it. (Even the wisest king in the line couldn’t save himself.) That gap can make you feel like a fraud.
You don’t have to close the whole gap today. What’s the one thing you already know you should do? Start by doing just that one thing today.
Pray: God, I know more than I always live out. Forgive me for drifting. Help me take one faithful step today. Amen.
