Spiritual inspirational leadership which is vibrant genuine and sincere is so needed.
King Solomon, with all his wisdom, fame, wealth, popularity and business acumen, became bored.
Do you ever hear people say that today? "Oh, I am bored. I have nothing to do. There is nowhere to go!"
People need God to give shape and purpose for their lives. It was only when Solomon turned away from Almighty God that he became increasingly dissatisfied.
The issues Solomon dared to write about are the same basic issues which bother many people today. Solomon's writings are highly relevant.
He has big important significant questions. Routine bored him. The sun rose and set every day. It never seemed to change. That is not monotony. That is order.
This man who had known such wisdom was baffled, and he began to find life wearisome.
That happens when you marginalise God.
When a man turns from God it is more serious than simple boredom and weariness. When a nation turns from the ways of God, it gets into a terrible tangle. How many nations are in just this very confusion and disarray in these present days?
Solomon decided to become involved in more things. That is not the answer either.
Surely our lives will suddenly change if we have more television, more radio, more travel, more music, more entertainment!
Solomon landed up in a sorry state. It was as though he was just going round in circles and getting nowhere.
He had wandered far and it showed. In his search for satisfaction he explored so many avenues.
If only, at that point, he could have heard these words of Jesus which Peter heard, "Follow Me and I will make you", and if he had responded as Peter responded what a transformation there would have been.
There is one thing you can be sure of - if you follow Jesus Christ you will never be bored!
