Power Is Peril
Lesson for May 17, 1959
COME PEOPLE have everything.
Not all people begin with every
thing; but King Solomon did. Talk
of being born with a gold spoon in
the mouth! Little Solomon would
have choked with all the sets of
gold spoons that belonged to him.
He was the king who had every
thing done for
him. everything
all arranged He
did not have to
carve out a king
dom; -hxs father.
David had done
that. He did not
have "to develop
an ixmy; hia
father had done
that too. He jiid Dr. Foreman
not have to try to be rich: be
was born wealthy. He was the
favorite son of his father’s favorite
wife; the strongest forces in harem
politics (always a power in bar
baric countries) -were on his side.
Strength Has Its Dangers „
Solomon -had better than a.
scheming mother on bis side; God
was with him. The beautiful story
of -Solomon's dream, in 1 Kings 3,
shows the young king at his best.
Yet the story of his reign, in spite
of all Its magnificent display. In
spite of all the peace and prosper
ity, IS'in the long run a story of
decay and - degeneration. He was
like a great rocket leaving Its
launching pad In a blaze of light,
yet going off-course and bringing
down in its crash many a hope and
expectation of success. .
Why was this ? The story of Sol
omon tells us something about
power and Its perils. Most people
think of power as a sort of in
surance, and so we seize every
chance to increase opr power Few
powerful men are content with the
power they have. They are always
grasping for more. -
Tha Power of Bad Influoneo
One danger is that if a man is
specially powerful, everything ha
does will be copied by lesser men.
