Solomon Wisdom Quote by Richard L. Reising
““Wow! So how Solomon’s ushers dressed mattered? How the building was built mattered? How the greeters greeted mattered? How the entryway was organized mattered? You better believe it! To this queen, they were all evidence that validated the reality of God at work in Solomon’s temple. Notice it says she “had seen all the wisdom of Solomon.” How do you “see” wisdom? Every aspect of the temple and its people were managed and trained to create this impression. She was convinced before she even heard Solomon speak. She goes on . . . How the entryway was organized mattered? To this queen, they were all evidence that validated the reality of God at work in Solomon’s temple. “However I did not believe the words until””
