Thursday, May 28

Jehovah became furious at Solomon.—1 Ki. 11:9.

 

Why was Jehovah’s anger raised against Solomon? The Bible reports: “Because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah . . . , who had appeared to him twice and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded.” As a result, God withdrew his approval and support. Solomon’s heirs lost the unified kingdom of Israel and suffered many calamities for generations to come. (1 Ki. 11:9-13) As in Solomon’s case, one of the greatest threats to spirituality is friendship with those who do not understand or respect Jehovah’s standards. Some may be associated with the congregation but may be spiritually weak. Others could be relatives, neighbors, coworkers, or schoolmates who are not worshippers of Jehovah. In any case, if our close associates do not show a high regard for Jehovah’s standards, they can in time destroy our good standing with God. w18.07 19 ¶9-10

I felt Solomon as a traitor. He took all the blessings from JEHOVAH God and then cheated him by disobeying him.

And sometimes we are to like Solomon . We go to JEHOVAH God when we face problems but after that we continue with our worldly friends.

What a timely warning today's text is.

JEHOVAH God was right in getting angry with Solomon.

Can he get furious with us too? Better watch our ways.

What a shame, a timely warning indeed.

Solomon earlier had prayed that Jehovah would forgive his people if they repented of their sins. (1Ki 8:37-40; 2Ch 6:28-31)
However, there is no definite evidence I could find that Solomon truly repented of his serious sin. 😢
