"King Solomon loved many strange women... of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall the come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.... and his wives turned away his heart. For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods" (1 Kings 11:1-4).
How sad the state of Solomon
Who had it all— or so it seemed.
Yet by his lust was he undone,
Deprived of what he most esteemed.
His power, wealth, and many wives
Could not satisfy his soul.
God alone can fill the lives
Of all who give to Him control.
May this be a lesson learned,
Lest our hearts be turned away;
Lest we cease to be concerned,
When our souls have gone astray.
