Wisdom Seekers
“Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.” (1 Kings 10:1)
This great eastern queen is given quadruple mention in the Scriptures. Here in Kings, again in Chronicles, and then twice in the New Testament – both Mark and Luke make mention of her story.
She traveled some three thousand miles in search of true wisdom. Specifically, the wisdom of Solomon “concerning the name of the LORD”. She didn't just seek earthly wisdom, but to understand the truth of God, and was willing to take a long and dangerous journey to attain it.
In light of the queen of Sheba, we must ask ourselves how seriously we search out the wisdom of the ages. What do we do to hunger and thirst after righteousness and receive the blessing of finding it? We are all responsible to be seekers of God, and in an age of information at our fingertips, we are without excuse when we fail to seek Him.
