But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. (I Kings 11:1-4 KJV)

What is your idol that would pull away from your relationship with God? Is it money? Is your spouse? Whatever your idol is, God would like you to return to Him.

In the latter part of his life, King Solomon turned away from God and began to worship the other gods. As we read in I Kings 11, Solomon began to fall in love with the other women as Simpson did. Unlike Simpson, he had a thousand of women while he was in kingship. As a result, God turned away from Solomon and let him experienced many sufferings.

It is not good for us that we would decide to walk away from our Creator after we’d receive wisdom from Him. I recently read news coverage on election between Obama and McCain. It’s sad to see that they proclaimed to be BORN-AGAIN Christian leaders, and yet, we see that they only go to Christians for vote this year’s presidential election and have nothing to do with bringing America return back to God. We see this occurring event every presidential election. What is happening to this country? Even though being a national leader for his people, it is an idolatry to listen only to his people to lead the nation and refuse God’s Word. Solomon didn’t obey God fully; instead, he only listened to the people from the other religions.

So, what is your idol that would pull away from your relationship with God? Throw your idol away and begin to walk with God.
