Where Can Wisdom Be Found?
Many people are full of the “in Him” truths — full of righteousness, healing, salvation and authority truths — but they don’t take care of the things in their natural life.

Although Solomon never found the one true love of his life, he certainly was surrounded by many beautiful women (1000 wives and mistresses).
