"King Solomon is mostly remembered for his great wisdom. However, the Bible also tells us the unfortunate truth about the end of his life. While he started out great, Solomon quickly began prioritizing the wrong things. He chose his human relationships over his relationship with God.

Like most things in life, living for God can start out well, and in most cases, with a lot of joy and energy, but it’s how that living matures and ages that matters. How will we run the race? How will we end the race?

He must be top priority.
