I Kings 10:7

"Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard."

The queen of Sheba had come to seek for Solomon's wisdom. Two things will drive people to search: 1. curiosity, "Can it really be so?" and 2. Desire to seek truth. She had heard of all of Solomon's wisdom and was intrigued and moved so much to go out and find him and ask all that was on her heart to prove him. Howbeit I believed not the words - she had been told, but did not accept them; this is unbelief at its worst. For here is Solomon, full of wisdom, and yet thsoe that could drain him of it, will not believe. Thewords were not good enough to accept, she must go and see and hear for herself. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things nott seen. For what is seen is not faith. Yet, we must credit her with once she heard of his wisdom, even though, she beleived not, it caused her to rise up and go and seek for him. We give to the world the words of eternal life, forgiveness of sins and hope. Many have this testimony, 'they beleive not'; yet, we know not if it will compell some soul to rise up and seek for the truth of it and find it. When we read and hear of the glory of God and His bountiful blessings of that which is and that which shall be, let us cast off any unbelief and hold fast to the truth of it. It is His Word and promises and He cannot lie, therefore, it is truth. Until I came - word study, to come;
