THE PRICELESS GIFTS OF GOD

THE PRICELESS GIFTS OF GOD


Today=we READ about Sheba (modern day
Yemen)=and their QUEEN taking PRICELESS GIFTS
for and to SOLOMON


These GIFTS are--------fine spices
And jewels=but she explains that
She is HONORING Solomon


NOT for his wealth=splendor=
Or power= bur for his
WISDOM & JUSTICE


And those are=THE PRICELESS
GIFTS OF GOD=wisdom and justice


“He will make JUSTICE
Dawn for you
Like the LIGHT” Psalm 37:6


We ALL know the story of
SOLOMON=the SON OF David=
When God tells him that he
CAN HAVE any gift that he wants


He CHOOSES the gift of WISOM=
MAY we all learn to do
Just that=and live with THE PRICELESS GIFTS
Of wisdom and justice


And NOT be searching for the gifts
Of jewels=wealth and fame


The PRICELESS GIFTS of God
Are WISDOM and JUSTICE


“The fear of the LORD
Is the
BEGINNING of wisdom


All who follow
His precepts
Have good understanding


To him
BELONGS eternal praise” Psalm 111:10


“For the Lord-
GIVES WISDOM=


From his mouth
Come knowledge
And UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 2:6


“Brothers and sisters
Choose 7 men
From among you


Who are KNOWN
To be FULL of the SPIRIT
And wisdom


We will TURN this RESPONSIBILITY
Over to them” Acts 6:3-4


Dear Lord=like Solomon=we CHOOSE
The PRICELESS GIFTS of God=
Wisdom and understanding=and JUSTICE


UNFORTUNATELY=thousands of years later=
MANY of us are still looking
For wealth and power


The queen EXPOSED this myth
Many years ago=wealth and power
Are NOT the shiniest gifts


But the WISDOM and JUSTICE
That GOD GIVES us
To live with


It is RIGHTEOUSNESS that shines
It is JUSTICE that shines=let us live=
With the GOD-LIKENESS of Jesus=
The justice of God=and
The WISDOM of Solomon


“The Lord is known
By his
ACTS OF JUSTICE


The wicked are ensnared
By the work of their hands” Psalm 9:16


“When JUSTICE is done
It brings joy
For the RIGHTEOUS


But terror to evildoers” Proverbs 21:15


The BIBLE pays tribute
To those PRICELESS GIFTS
Of wisdom and justice


Dear LORD=we pray that we
LIVE with the WISDOM and JUSTICE
Of God and Jesus=and our dear brother
King Solomon


MAY our wisdom and justice=SHINE
And RISE like the morning sun


In Jesus' name=may we all FIND the PRICELESS GIFTS OF GOD
