The wealth and wisdom of Solomon are acknowledged by the Queen of Sheba to be marks of God's favour. She consults Solomon about questions that have arisen out of her heart, her very being, and his answers truly amaze her. What those questions are we can only guess and each of us will supply an answer that is a question about our own selves. We sort of know ourselves but what we really are in relation to life and the sparkling Universe that is and was so obvious to desert dwellers is our life's mission to face up to and find the right answer.

But we are not alone in the desert night that seems to grow out of the visible horizon into the vastness of the  heavens. We know God's creation and we have received his revelation of his being and his will. The creator of the vastness that Solomon saw each night unpolluted by man speaks to us and Jesus states clearly that dietary laws do not bring sinlessness. Sin is the evil corruption in the heart that exhibits itself in unrighteous behaviour. 

We cannot justify sinfulness by talking about "this day and age". Any who try justify themselves by talking about the "greater good" to condone birth-control and abortion are lying to God and to themselves. The stupidity of man to man sexual relations cannot be purified by human legistlation, by calling another  man your husband. It is all nonsense and ultimately evil for they say that God created them to be like this. They directly accuse God of creating them to be challenges to his word. "Man and woman he created them" is the revelation of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Dear Lord all of us face the challenge of the sins of the flesh. Those sins are usually pleasurable for the moment. Our world is captivating in its variety and challenge to our understanding. Scientific study fasxinates our attention and even Theology can distract us from the true worship we need to offer to you. Let me this day be true to you and sincerely pray turning my whole life over to you our God. let me and mine know without doubt that you are the author of life and of Love.
