If it was blessing to be in Solomon’s presence, how much more blessed is it to stand in the presence of Jesus Christ and hear His wisdom? When you come to church and hear God’s minister speaking to you, you are sitting there hearing the wisdom of God. That’s what being blessed looks like. Drinking in the wisdom of Christ, who is the Divine Wisdom personified, is the ultimate in blessedness. Being in His presence is blessedness. That is the spiritual reality behind the earthly manifestation in Solomon’s court. Yes, blessedness appears in earthly things. If you have a beautiful home and well-trained, obedient employees, you are blessed by God. That is the beginning of blessedness. But full blessedness consists of basking in the presence of Christ and knowing fellowship with such a great man, who is at the same time the great God! Blessedness is pictured in physical terms throughout this chapter, but we see in this declaration that ultimate blessedness comes from knowing Christ. You may not be outwardly prosperous, but you can still be blessed by hearing the wisdom of God!
