- Six Words Worth Heeding
- By Mike Riley
In looking at Scripture, I’ve often wondered how King Solomon might have summed up his life in six words. As a young man, he could have written: “God has given me great wisdom” (1 Kings 4:29-34).
But in his later years, he might have said: “Should have practiced what I preached” (1 Kings 11:1-8).
During his kingly reign, distinguished by peace and prosperity, Solomon developed spiritual heart problems. When he was old, “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” (1 Kings 11:4).
The result was God’s displeasure and a sad end to a previously exemplary life (1 Kings 11:9-10).
The many times that Solomon uses the word “vanity” [empty or meaningless] in Ecclesiastes, may indicate his disillusionment about life and its many challenges.
This once-wise king who had it all, pondered it all and lost it all, ended the book with these six words
:
“Fear God and keep His commandments” (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
Brethren and friends, now these are six words worth heeding!
