Description
In today’s reading (1 Kings 11:1–13), we see how Solomon, once blessed with wisdom, allowed his heart to turn away from the Lord. Influenced by his foreign wives, he began to worship false gods and abandoned wholehearted devotion to God. As a result, the Lord declares that the kingdom will be divided, reminding us that even great gifts cannot protect a heart that drifts from faithfulness.
