London, My city, My challenge

The man was King Solomon, known for his economic and political strategies whereby he made money as well as partnerships with other kings and queens. His fame was so great that politicians from distant lands came to hear his wisdom and see his wealth as well as honour him with gifts.
 
As a philosopher he devoted himself to study and explored by wisdom all that happened under the sun.  He is said to have been the wisest man that ever lived. He undertook great projects such as building houses for himself, planting vineyards and gardens with all kinds of plants in them.  He made parks with reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees.  He possessed huge numbers of livestock.   No-one could calculate the amount of gold and sliver he possessed.  What a rich man!

You might imagine that there was nothing missing in this man’s life.  Certainly many of us would think so, but lets find out what he had to say about his own life:

“When I surveyed all that my hands had done and how hard I had worked in doing it, I realized it did not mean a thing. It was like chasing the wind; of no use at all.”

This politician, philosopher and rich man came to that conclusion after he had tested many things.   This is what he has to say to anyone who trusts in his human wisdom, political power or wealth: 

Says the Philosopher: QUOTATION

You may have been doing your own research, seeking to find meaning in life or a better purpose to live for. As King Solomon became disappointed with all he had acquired, you yourself are perhaps in a similar situation: asking questions, having doubts and having a hope that you will find the answer as the man in the story found. Here is what he says: “FEAR GOD AND OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS.”   When HE comes into our life it will never be the same.
