Ensnared

For all of Solomon’s wisdom, in the end his heart was led astray (1Ki 11:3-4, 9). It’s amazing to think that the person who wrote most of the Proverbs forsook the Lord. It just goes to show you, it’s not how much you know but how much you obey that keeps you close to the Lord. The decisions of his youth caught up to him. Some of his 1000 wives and concubines led him astray. Was he a sex addict? Or was he just exercising his power in excessive, superfluous ways? What is your weakness? What will prevent you from finishing well? Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 (NASB95)
