“When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions… and Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king, which he told her not… And she said to the king… behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard” (1 Kings 10:1-7). “He that winneth souls is wise” (Proverbs 11:30). “The queen of the south… came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here” (Matthew 12:42).
The
queen of Sheba heard the news
Of
wisdom found in Solomon.
She
brought hard questions she would use,
And
they were answered, every one.
Indeed,
the wisdom far exceeded
The
true report that she had heard.
She
found the answers that she needed,
Which
were provided from God’s Word.
Should
not we also be prepared
To
answer questions that are hard?
The
Gospel that we have declared
Has
ample proof in this regard.
The
Word of God exceeds the fame
Of
what our finite minds take in,
Which
magnifies our Savior’s name,
Who
by Himself has purged our sin!
The
Word of God enlightens eyes
When
hearts will humbly seek the Lord,
And
he that wins a soul is wise;
Eternal
fruit is his reward.
The
queen of Sheba from the south,
Then
found the half had not been told.
She
heard the answers from the mouth
Of
Solomon with grace unfold.
Behold,
a greater One is here
Than
Solomon who answered well.
The
soul that turns with godly fear
To
Jesus Christ is saved from hell!
O
Lord, we pray that more today
Will
come with questions like that queen
To
hear the wisdom You convey,
To
trust in You, and on You lean.
