Christian Reflection and Prayer

Being Smart Sometimes is Just Not Enough

Scripture:

"Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not fully
follow the Lord". (I Kings 11:6)

Reflection:

If you look back at history some of the smartest people in the world did
some of the dumbest things. They often fall short in the area of moral
discernment, often leading to tragic results. It is really obvious that a
high IQ is not enough to keep a person from bad choices. Solomon is
a perfect example, a King rich in treasures and wisdom made terrible choices.
After being told not to marry foreign woman, he did anyway, and they
turned his heart to other Gods. You know what this proves to me is that
the ability to make good decisions demands a heart devoted to God.
Our world today is filled with smart people who make immoral decisions.
The next time you vote, ask yourself this, Is my heart devoted to God? If
it is make your decision and vote. For once make the right choice, make
the moral choice.

Prayer:

Lord give me wisdom to make the right choices. Make my heart pure and
totally devoted to You. When I make this choice may it be according to your
desire. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD!
