Week 20: The Wisdom of Solomon

Solomon seems to be a pretty amazing person. He was able to complete and finish the work of his father David in building the temple, and the Israelites genuinely seemed to like him. I read the stories, Psalms and Proverbs of Solomon, and there is no doubt that he was a wise man - I pray that I may have just an ounce of his discernment.

Now that we are entering summer and I'm still going to school, I felt that Psalm 127:2 might be a place I can go to find rest:

"It is useless for you to work so hard
from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
for God gives rest to his loved ones."

I think that I need to remember what I am working for - and that God will provide all that I need - even rest - if I give my burden over to him.
