1st Samuel 10:9~ Blessed be the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and set you on the throne of Israel! Because the Lord loved Israel forever, he has mad you king, that you may execute justice and righteousness.
Through the slow study of Solomon we see that he had a great fear of the Lord. I know it will change as we continue through 1st Kings. The Queen of Sheba came and visited Solomon because she heard of his fame in the name of the Lord. Nothing is really known about the queen other than she heard of what the God of Israel was doing in the kings life. When you read chapter 10 we see that she came with hard questions for the king and he answered them.
Instead of her saying, Solomon is great and wise she says blessed be the Lord your God. The glory of the wisdom was not Solomon but God who gave it to him.
How great it is when we can say the world is drawn to the glory of God through what God is doing in us. When the world can say Blessed be the Lord your God. There is truly a God and through Jesus Christ he is the only way.
May we live so the world can hear of amazing salvation of our Lord and they can say, "Blessed be the Lord your God."
