A Queen's Journey to Divine Wisdom
The Queen of Sheba's journey to meet King Solomon stands as one of history's most fascinating royal encounters. Unlike Hollywood's sexualized portrayals, Scripture presents her as a dignified, intelligent sovereign who "prized wisdom above power." Ruling what is now Yemen around 945 BC, she governed a strategic trade center producing fine fruits, mocha coffee, and valuable spices so fragrant that "the intoxicating scent of the blooms could be detected by voyagers offshore." What compelled this powerful queen to undertake a dangerous fifteen-hundred-mile journey across the Arabian Desert? Reports of Solomon's extraordinary wisdom had reached her distant land. Beyond seeking knowledge, she likely aimed to negotiate trade agreements with Solomon, whose new harbor threatened her spice routes. Yet her greatest asset wasn't political acumen but "a heart that desired wisdom" - a restless longing for what's True, Good, Beautiful, and Eternal. When Sheba arrived in Jerusalem, her impressive caravan created an unforgettable spectacle. Her gifts were staggering - spices like Arabian balm and myrrh, precious stones of every color, and most impressively, four and a half tons of gold (worth about $200 million today). By displaying her bounty at the start, she demonstrated she hadn't come begging but could cover her expenses. True boldness isn't arrogance but comes from preparation - doing research, listening, and acquiring knowledge from trustworthy sources. Yet facts alone don't make us bold; faith does. When we believe what we've learned because we trust the One who taught us, we can proclaim truth "with all boldness and without hindrance."
