"God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much" (1 Kings 4:29). "O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of His praise to be heard, which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved" (Psalm 66:8,9). "The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe" (Proverbs 18:10). "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall… but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able" (1 Corinthians 10:12,13).
The wisdom God
gave Solomon,
As understanding
also came,
Exceeded all, for
there were none
That equaled him
in all his fame.
Yet even then,
it was the Lord
Who held his
soul through all his life.
It wasn't strategy
or sword,
But God who
rescued him from strife.
The name of
Christ is our strong tower
Protecting us
from all temptation.
We are not
stayed by our own power,
But by the Lord
of our salvation.
Lord, You have
warned us to take heed,
Lest we should
fall with tempted heart.
How perfectly
You meet our need
With grace to
stand that You impart!
