Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
God punishes Solomon because Solomon has sinned, and in that we are reminded of one very important fact: God is still active and involved in our lives, just as he was with Solomon. We have been called to obedience. God has given us commandments, as has Jesus. Those commandments are what keep us on the path God has laid out for us. If we stray from that path, then God will bring us back to the path. As was the case with Solomon this may not be a pleasant experience for us, but it is for our benefit, for the Lord's path is the place we are supposed to be. God remains active and involved. He directs us on the path, and brings us back to it, if necessary. Let us all continue to grow in our faith, that we would continue to stay on the path God has laid out for us. God bless you.
Pastor Josh
