NOT SO WISE?

1 Kings 11:1-3
Now King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh's daughter, he married women from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and from among the Hittites. 2 The LORD had clearly instructed his people not to intermarry with those nations, because the women they married would lead them to worship their gods. Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway. 3 He had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines. And sure enough, they led his heart away from the LORD. NLT
** ? I’m not sure I understand this…. I mean, I understand this but I just don’t understand this! Do you know what I mean? Here we have the most wise person in the world and even he is subject to falling away from God. God gives us rules to protect us and if we don’t follow those rules, it will lead us on a path that is without God and destined to fail. It’s not that the beauty of his wives turned him away that surprises me, (just read thru the bible and see all the men that fell) it is the fact that he could have still had all the beautiful women he wanted but not from the countries God said. I believe God wants Christians to be wealthy…. I mean lots of money and the blessings of life BUT I know why He doesn’t fulfill His blessings to them…. They couldn’t handle the increase! They would just forget about God and follow their own path. What lesson do we learn from this? OBEY GOD! It’s as simple as that and is the hardest thing for most Christians to do… Obey God.
