1 Kings 10–11; 2 Chronicles 9

Common Theme:
Solomon’s reign displayed extraordinary wealth and wisdom, but his heart strayed as he pursued foreign alliances and idolatry. God’s blessings are not a substitute for obedience—true faithfulness requires an undivided heart.

Questions:

• Why did Solomon’s wisdom not prevent his downfall?
• What does this reveal about the danger of compromise in our spiritual lives?

God Shot:
God is generous with wisdom and favor, yet He remains holy and just. He will not allow divided devotion to go unchecked—His heart desires love that is loyal, not distracted by power or pleasure.
