Wisdom is not a cure for pride, and it does not cure our sin nature. Even though God gave him wisdom like nobody else would have, in his mind, he still had an \u2018I can handle it' sort of attitude. What God said would happen became true and Solomon\u2019s wives turned his heart away from God. Solomon either didn't listen or he didn't think it applied to him. Wisdom does not make you immune to temptation, even Jesus was tempted. The lies of the enemy are aimed at putting doubts into the minds of people, looking to make them question what God has said and follow their own judgements. God wants our whole heart. God saw that these things would turn his heart away from Him. And the heart of God is to have our full heart, our hearts turn to Him. We're called the love God and love people. Who God says is good for you and who God says is not good for you is something we should pay attention to. When we go after whatever we want without considering who God would pair us with, we're going to miss out on what God has for us because we're going to insist on what we want. And when we do that, we just set ourselves up for failure, we set ourselves up for a fall. 1 Corinthians 13:12. Our personal experience and our perspective on the world is so partial and incomplete. Psalm 37:4. Mark 12:29. God is good, He gives us warnings when He sees us going in a bad direction, and He is merciful, even in His anger.
