1 Kings 10:1-13
The Lord called this scene to mind when speaking to the Pharisees, to give emphasis to their unbelief: "The queen of the south . . . came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here" (Matthew 12:42). The Son of God, the King of Glory, is here in type before our eyes. And He teaches us how He receives whoever comes to Him. It is neither the glory nor the riches of the great king which draws this noble visitor to his court. She has heard of the wisdom of Solomon in connection with the name of the LORD, and, wishing to make her own assessment of it, she comes to commune with him "of all that was in her heart". Let us not be satisfied to have heard of the Lord Jesus. Let us go to Him! Let us put our own thoughts aside and bring Him all our difficulties, all that with which our hearts may be weighed down. Then we shall have the personal experience of His greatness and of His power, of His riches and of His wisdom, but also of His marvellous love. He is ready to give us all that we wish for, all we ask for from Him (v. 13; John 15:7).
