A King of Extraordinary Wisdom

Lately, I’ve been reading about King Solomon. His profound wisdom and the remarkable stature he held among kings are truly jaw-dropping

“Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the sons of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all [other] men, [wiser] than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. His fame was known in all the surrounding nations. He also spoke 3,000 proverbs, and his songs were 1,005. He spoke of trees, from the cedar which is in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows on the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and fish. People came from all the peoples (nations) to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.”

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭4‬:‭30‬-‭34‬ ‭AMP‬‬

King Solomon was wiser than the wisest men of his time. King Solomon’s wisdom was found superior to the wisdom of all the people of the East and even the wisdom of Egypt.

He was not only a king but also a remarkable philosopher, a gifted songwriter, a researcher, and a keen observer of nature. His knowledge extended from plants to animals, reflecting his interests in both botany and zoology. People from many places were inspired by his wisdom and came to him seeking answers to their most difficult questions.

“Now Solomon reigned over all the kingdoms from the [Euphrates] River to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt; they brought tribute (money) and served Solomon all the days of his life.”

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭4‬:‭21‬ ‭AMP‬‬

He reigned over many kingdoms—a truly mighty king! But what made him so extraordinary? The reason lies below.

“Now God gave Solomon [exceptional] wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand of the seashore.”

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬ ‭AMP‬‬

His kingdom stood as a remarkable example of God’s kingdom on earth. He was precious in the sight of men, kings and the great God whom he served. 

King Solomon had answers for his people. In many ways, he himself became the answer they sought. Such is the nature of God’s kingdom—where wisdom, guidance, and truth flow to those who seek them.

To God belong all wisdom, power, and praise!

The Power within the Righteous soul

Sharing lovely truth about the righteous from my recent reads. 

..but the root of the righteous will never be moved.” ‭‭

Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“The thoughts of the righteous are just; 

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

…but the house of the righteous will stand.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

…but the root of the righteous bears fruit.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

…but the righteous escapes from trouble.” Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“No ill befalls the righteous… ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor… ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭26‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭28‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The life of the righteous is richly blessed. He/ She is a display of God’s love, His nature, amazing power, supernatural strength and true kindness. 

If you believe Lord Jesus has taken away your sins because of his punishment on the cross and has given you His righteousness, then all of these things come true in your life. 

Your heart longs to know more about Jesus, to be rooted in Him. You shall be fruitful. There is abundance of life in you. You are able to instruct others in God’s peace and wisdom. No evil can destroy your life. You will escape from trouble and erroneous path of the world. Your heart will not be moved by bad news; it stands on solid ground.

Jesus’ Life-Changing Miracle: Confronting the Unclean Spirit

Jesus demonstrated the profound depth of His teachings through a life-changing miracle. He encountered a man suffering from an unclean spirit, a situation many might avoid or be fearful of. However, instead of stepping away, Jesus confronted the man’s condition head-on.

It’s easy to picture how one might shy away from someone in such a troubled state, but Jesus didn’t do that. He approached the situation with authority and compassion. His command was simple but direct: He ordered the unclean spirit to be silent and to come out of the man. It was as if Jesus was the commanding officer, with the same certainty and decisiveness as a police officer ordering a criminal to comply. Just as the officer would handcuff a wrongdoer and remove them from public view, Jesus took command over the unclean spirit, removing it from the man who had allowed it to take dominion over him.

Through this encounter, Jesus revealed the power of His word and the transformation He brings to those who are suffering. He didn’t just heal the man’s body, but also restored his soul and spirit, showing us the deep, life-altering change that can occur when we allow Jesus to confront and cleanse us. 

Jesus’ authority over evil is a reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, His power is greater according to Mark 1:21-28. 

As in Luke 4:31-37, Jesus commands a demon to leave a man’s body, and it obeys without hesitation. As the demon is cast out, something extraordinary happens—the man is left unharmed. No scar, no damage, just a complete restoration of his health and well-being. The power of Jesus’ words is evident, as He not only expels the demon but also redeems and heals the person entirely.

This moment is more than just an isolated event; it’s a powerful reminder of the authority Jesus has given to His followers. Through His redemptive work on the cross, Jesus has empowered us to do more than just watch from the sidelines. He has granted us the authority to drive out demons, heal the sick, and care for the broken-hearted. 

Even today, this power is available to those who are born of God and believe in the redemptive work of Jesus. If you have faith in what He accomplished on the cross, you too can command unclean spirits to leave in Jesus’ name, and they will obey you. The authority of Jesus is not just something of the past—it’s alive and active in the lives of believers today.

As followers of Christ, we are called to walk in that same authority. Just as Jesus demonstrated His power over evil and restored health to the suffering, He has entrusted us with the ability to bring healing, deliverance, and hope to a hurting world. Whether in our daily lives or in moments of spiritual warfare, we can boldly declare the authority of Jesus, knowing that His name has the power to transform and restore lives.

The King’s Healing Light

In a land not of our own, as written in the great oracles, there existed a kingdom waiting to be unveiled, a place where every shadow of sorrow, every spell of misery and darkness is made void. From the guise of a humble mortal shall emerge a force of unimaginable might, destined to bring this wondrous realm into being upon the earth. His kingdom is a beacon of hope, will shine forever, untouched by the passage of time. His kingdom never fades and will last forever.

Those who yearn to seek, to embrace, and to serve the true King shall find their place in this enchanted land, standing bravely against all trials and tribulations of their mortal journey. Even in the face of adversity, they will remain steadfast within the warmth of his kingdom, forever guided by his radiant light and the promise of adventure that awaits.

People of all ages, burdened by various ailments and pains, gathered before the King. Each soul yearned to cast aside the heavy stone of misery and death. As foretold by the ancient oracles, a miracle unfolded for each of them. The King healed them all, leaving no one behind. Not a single person could claim that their pleas were ignored; each was met with kindness and grace. All received the precious gifts of health and wholeness, and no one could declare, “I am sick.”

He was and is worthy of worship, adored for his incredible power. Every illness and affliction that sought to consume the weak was vanquished. The frail were made strong again.

He restored minds once broken by torment, curing seizures and raising the paralyzed, transforming them into living marvels. Those tormented by demons, driven into chaos and despair, found solace; their psychosomatic suffering vanished completely. There remained no trace of illness—only the faint echoes of a past now healed.

That is my King Jesus Christ ! Taken from Matthew 4: 23, 24.

Ruth’s Loveliness: The Graceful Stranger

Ruth’s reputation for kindness was widely known in Naomi’s hometown. However, Naomi, Ruth’s mother-in-law, became increasingly bitter over time. She carried the weight of her uncertain future, grieving the loss of her husband and two sons, and enduring the hardships of life and emotional distress. Ruth faced the challenge of living with a bitter individual, an experience that may not have been pleasant.

Despite being advised to leave Naomi and pursue a prosperous life as a young widow, Ruth chose to remain by her side. She refused to give up on her identity and stayed in her rightful place. As a foreigner and stranger in the land, she had little reason to depend on her deceased husband’s family. The family’s wealth and reputation had diminished, and their desires went unfulfilled. Nevertheless, Ruth did not return to her parents and her homeland. Instead, she extended kindness to her mother-in-law (the only existing member of her deceased husband’s family).

Ruth’s good deeds and kindness earned her commendation. Boaz, recognizing her goodwill, believed that the Lord would reward her for her faithfulness and kindness. Despite her circumstances, Ruth determined that her identity was to position herself and find safety and protection under the wings of the Lord. She displayed determination, purpose, kindness, adaptability, and grace, pushing her limits and embracing change.

May we also seek solace in our Heavenly Father’s love, just as Ruth, a stranger, found favor and peace beneath God’s wings.

Taken from Scripture:

11 And Boaz answered and said to her, “It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know before. 12 The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”

13 Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord; for you have comforted me, and have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants.”

Boaz’s Boundless Grace : A Tale of Freedom to a Love-lost Woman

Ruth was profoundly moved by the genuine kindness demonstrated by Boaz. She felt a deep sense of humility. The remarkable generosity he showed towards a woman of a different language and background left her astounded. It was a favor that went beyond the confines of traditional stories, transcending the boundaries of culture, language, and upbringing that separated Ruth and Boaz. This newfound wave of mercy felt divinely inspired to Ruth, for it was a form of grace that was truly unique within their nation.

Never had Ruth envisioned encountering a man so kind-hearted, who not only offered her grains and food but also provided guidance on finding the right companionship and offered advice to ensure her safety and protection from harm and danger. In a world where women often found themselves vulnerable and prone to being misjudged and mistreated, the hope that Boaz extended to Ruth was a beacon of light. His words of caution served as a shield, discouraging any ill-intentioned men from taking advantage of her. This is a tale of kindness and freedom to a love-lost woman.

As seen in this Scripture verse – 10 At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground. She asked him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me—a foreigner?”

The freedom bestowed upon a foreign woman like Ruth by Boaz was a manifestation of grace. It exemplified the essence of Jesus, the epitome of grace, who bestows freedom and life upon all. The life-giving actions of Boaz revealed a personality characterized by grace. The true and perfect grace person is Jesus Christ.

Boaz’s Leadership: Establishing Boundaries and Inspiring Reverence

9 Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the women. I have told the men not to lay a hand on you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled.”

Boaz urged the men to abstain from any acts of unkindness towards Ruth. He encouraged them to work alongside women and treat them with respect. He specifically instructed the men to fill water jars for the women workers to drink from. Ruth, being single was advised to follow along after the women and to interact with women. Boaz established a certain dynamic among his workers when Ruth became part of the group, ensuring her safety and setting boundaries for the men working with her. This truth about Boaz deepens the admiration and reverence for him as a leader. He paves the way for Ruth to find her place and establishes her boundaries. By following his wise counsel, she could thrive day by day without lacking anything.

Furthermore, Boaz exhibits similar qualities and attributes to Jesus Christ. Just like Jesus, Boaz genuinely cared for others and understood their cares and concerns. Through the Holy Spirit and by the grace of Jesus Christ, you can have hope for the future.

Boaz’s Benevolence: A Tale of Kindness, Hope, and Enchantment

8 So Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with the women who work for me. 

Will someone extend kindness to a widowed woman with an unfamiliar voice? Boaz exemplified grace by extending his kindness to a complete stranger. In a world that seemed devoid of hope, he spoke words that breathed hope into her soul. He provided guidance emphasizing the path to receiving goodness and genuine contentment which is essential for everyday life.

Initially, she may have felt excluded among the workers, but his words spoke of inclusion in a diverse world. He called her like a caring father. He offered a helping hand to ensure a bright future for her and provided counsel for her safety. He didn’t leave her feeling isolated and lonely but instead placed her in the company of other women. This showcases the beautiful mind of Boaz, the reflection of Jesus Christ.

Such is the true essence of loveliness of mind of Christ.

Promise of 1st Christmas 

Mary, a wise young girl, chose God’s Word over her feelings, even possibility of social condemnation. She fully surrendered herself to the Lord at an age when many young girls are often distracted by temptations, worries, and worldly cares typical of youth. Mary chose faith and wisdom, placing faith and trust in God above all competing influences.

And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” Luke 1:45

Uncharted Trails of Humanity & Divine Beauty

We have beautiful eyes gazing the earth, wandering around the world to never give up on the lost and the lonely.

It is the beauty of the Lord to remember the lonely, to bring to an environment of glad tidings, laughter and communion. He knows that two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. If two lie down together, they will keep warm.  

The Spiritual truth is our Heavenly Father loves mankind. He makes way to enjoy their lives with the joy of companionship, family and community. It is not good for man to be alone, He said; so, He created a right companion, a woman.

God places the lonely in families; Psalm 68:6

That draws a boundary. He sets them in a place of love, comfort & joy and His saving grace is their only source of victorious lives.
