King David and King Solomon were
father and son who lived on earth about 1000 BC. Together, they account for
heartfelt messages and songs recorded in four books of the Holy Bible. King
David of Israel,
authored 150 Psalms; his son, Solomon, authored Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes and The Song of Solomon.
The Book of Psalms
reveals the Way in which King David sang his praises to the LORD so that others
might benefit from his insightful devotion. The Way of the LORD was never meant
to be exclusive to David. King David experienced the covenant-agreement with
the LORD in his own lifetime, on this side of the grave. God’s Way is not
intended to be a mystery to Man who is made in the image and likeness of His
Creator. God has never ceased to be in action on earth in any generation. The
problem is never with God, who radiates His Spirit constantly and consistently
to every living creature! The only problem for the children of men is that the
Spirit of God, which is constantly being radiated to mankind, has
not been allowed to flow through hearts and minds and bodies of individual men
and women with the result that the Divine Design cannot appear on earth. The Psalms
are praises and prayers to the LORD for a willing individual to receive the
Spirit that is in operation through the entire universe. The words of the
Psalms enable any willing individual to let the Spirit of God to come to focus
within oneself...specifically one’s heart, mind and body...so that the spirit of
God will be in expression on earth. Man is out of position, outside the
spiritual covenant-agreement, outside the garden of a God Who is everywhere. David’s Psalms call readers and hearers to
return to the covenant that is available to be experienced.
Solomon, son of David, is known
for his wisdom and his wealth. He was a practical, “tell-it-like-it-is”
individual who was interested in the practical application of the teachings and
praises (Psalms) that he learned from his earthly father, King David. Solomon’s
wisdom comes to us in the form of the three books generally attributed to him: Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes, and The Song of Solomon.
The approach of Solomon is to let
the radiance from God that is coming to him in Spirit find
expression through him, as an individual, to produce the results of the True
Design on earth. The Proverbs are rich with ways in which Solomon
allowed this to occur in his living of life; Ecclesiastes
emphasizes the importance of allowing the flowing Spirit of God to find
expression early in life before disease and aging take their toll; The
Song of Solomon describes the loving relationship between the Spirit of
God and the human creation of man, male or female, who is the Beloved of the
Divine marriage of Spirit and form on earth.
Let us proceed with the songs
and praises, the teachings and wisdom, produced by father and son some 3,000
years ago, to experience the application and relevance to each of us in the
living of life on earth today.
