We begin our study of the books the Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song Of Solomon. These are the books of the Bible that God inspired the wisest man to ever live - except for Jesus, of course, but He also was the very God who infused that wisdom into Solomon - to write. 

These three books "follow" Solomon through his life. They are included for our benefit as we navigate this physical life on the stage of the earth in this age.  More than offering information about Biblical history and the dispensations of God's plan, These are books of personal instruction to God's people of Israel and those who are His in Christ in the church age.  We do well in our lives and glorifying God in them, to deeply and personally study each of these books of instruction - especially the Proverbs.

As a chronicle of the life of the wisest man, son of King David and a king of Israel following him, these books follow Solomon:

 The Song Of Solomon (aka Song Of Songs): Portrays the “morning” of Solomon’s life as set in a poetic book of the exhilaration of love and sensual romance framed in Godliness.  

The Proverbs: The “noontime” of Solomon’s life. Fundamentally, a book of “heavenly rules for earthly living” from the stand point of the mature years in the life of the wisest man that ever lived.

Ecclesiastes: The “evening” of Solomon’s life, this book recounts from a regretful perspective the disillusionment in the waning years of life as Solomon revisits the wreckage of what resulted as a wasted lifetime on earth; This book pleads with us to be mindful of finishing well. 

Let's begin learning from the mind of God through the eyes of Solomon how to live the optimal that life He intends for each of us, and how to best glorify Him during our short stay on the Earth.
