What did it take to make the Queen of Sheba breathless? She had seen prosperity and fame before. But she saw in Solomon some things that impressed her. He had a wisdom that was more than just window dressing. He could answer all her test questions. He was the real deal. Also, she looked at his servants and officials. They were genuinely happy. It was not a show. Israel had truly been blessed, and their joy reflected well on the reputation of their LORD.
LORD, may our joy show the watching world that you are good.
