Synopsis

King Solomon is without question a significant figure in history. He is renowned for the wisdom and understanding that God gave to him and we can read many of his insightful thoughts in the book of Proverbs. His fame spread throughout the region and he became a teacher, not only to his own people, but also to the peoples and even the leaders of other nations. He is also remembered for his great achievement in building a truly magnificent temple for the worship of God.

However, the most important lessons for us are found in the spiritual life of Solomon. In Appointed for Greatness we cover insights into:

• His preparation and training for ascending to the throne
• How difficult experiences can become very fruitful
• The meaning and importance of the fear of the Lord
• How God's promises can shape our lives

King Solomon left a mixed legacy, a reflection of the strengths and shortcomings of his life. We can learn from him, following his good example while avoiding his shortcomings, so that we can be people who fulfil God's plan for our lives.
