I know I haven't written in a while... I have been swamped with school though and it has consumed all of my time. With that said - I did not even teach my class last night at church. :-( Mom taught for me and she did a wonderful job. She taught us on "The Queen of Sheba"! Yes, a name so many of us have heard over the years, but yet, what do we really know about her? Well, that is just what mom taught us last night.
The Queen of Sheba was an amazing woman. She was a great queen and very rich. She loved adventure and enjoyed going out and looking for adventure. Also - she had heard of King Solomon and all that he was saying. See, King Solomon was very rich as well, and he openly served God and thanked God for everything that happened in his life. Word of this got all the way to the Queen and she wanted to know more about what King Solomon was talking about.
So she packed up her caravan and traveled to where King Solomon was...it was a 6 month long journey. This did not sway her from wanting to go and talk with the King and learn. See, the Queen of Sheba was a pagan. She served "gods" but not God. But after talking with King Solomon and learning about God from him, she went back to her country & was actually credited with bringing Christianity to her people.
See - she heard what was being said by King Solomon...and she wanted to learn more. She was not satisfied with just hearing through the grapevine... She wanted to learn directly from the King himself. That is how people should be today. And we, as Christians, should be like King Solomon. Giving God praise, openly for all to hear, for all He is doing in our life. Then, the "Queens" of the world will want to come and hear from us more information on God and how to make Him the leader in their life as well.
Look her up. There is SOOOOO much information on her. I barely skimmed the surface here!
