One of the great things about the Bible is it’s honest, realistic view of our world. There are many references containing complaint and lament, yet combined with worship and awe. The mystery of God the Creator allowing human choice to choose between good and evil is mind stretching. Even though we may want to do what is right in life, we will still experience the chaos and stress of wrong choices, even by others. Paul and Barnabas, even though doing their best to honor God, had their disagreements, yet they continued to do their best. We may not agree with like minded people, but God can bring good out of our weaknesses.
We may never understand how Solomon made such dumb decisions when he was so smart with wisdom. He had everything he needed but wanted more. His character development didn’t match his accumulation of wealth and knowledge - great lessons for us.
