GOD'S BLESSINGS MARVELS

The blessings of God on Solomon has gone round the whole world, his wisdom as God promised, truly surpassed all that could be imagined. God had also blessed Solomon with riches even when he asked for wisdom. One who is wise can truly get everything. 
The Queen of Sheba had heard of the wisdom and riches of Solomon, she then decided to come and see things for herself. She came and was marvelled at not just the civilization in the land of Israel, but also the temple, as well as the riches and wisdom and administrative skills of Solomon . She indeed acknowledged that such blessings could only come from God. The Queen of Sheba glorified God. 
It is very obvious that Solomon had no time to think of evil as he administered the land. We truly become what we think. Jesus makes it clear in the gospel reading, that the evils we do and tye sins we commit are first done in our minds. We should therefore purify our thoughts and intentions, let us think and do what is good, instead of pre occupying our minds with  fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly and other vices. When we do this, God will bless us like Solomon.
