Hard Questions
“And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty” (1 Kings 10:13).
The Queen of Sheba came to test Solomon with hard questions. Solomon not only answered all her questions and gave her all that she desired, but he also gave her of his royal bounty. What kingly generosity this was!
Solomon reminds us of the Lord Jesus, who said, “The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she 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).
If Solomon is a picture of the Lord, then the queen of Sheba must remind us of ourselves. Aren’t we amazed at the wisdom and generosity of our Solomon? We can go to Him at any time with a hard question and find that He has the time and resources for every problem and situation of life. “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3).
