Re:Verse passage – 2 Chronicles 9:1-12 (day three)
“And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.”
How can someone fall from wisdom? The question arises in the first place because it’s easy to think of wisdom as a failsafe. Surely wisdom will warn a person when she or he is falling. But no such failsafe exists. Neither wisdom, nor intelligence, nor confidence, nor skill, nor knowledge – none will do the heavy lifting of living a life of good. For that, the will must act. It cannot outsource its responsibility to deliberate and to choose. It all comes down, again, to the will’s need to be transformed by Christ. “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
