When She Saw his Wisdom and Glory

And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. attendance: Heb. standing cupbearers: or, butlers - 1 Kings 10:4-5

    She heard in her own country about the glory of Solomon's kingdom, so she came to see and to prove him with questions. He told her all her questions; and when she saw his wisdom, glory, and his ascent to the temple of the Lord, she was so overwhelmed and awed that she couldn't speak! This is a picture of the seeking sinner who hears of Christ, comes to him, and has revealed to him the wisdom, glory, and exaltation of the Lord Jesus at God's right hand. He, like Mary, sits at his feet unable to find words to say. Be concerned about the wordy new converts, not the one who cannot find words to express his joy and vision of Christ, the Redeemer.
