When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions...she came to Solomon and talked with him about all she had on her mind. Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her...
2 Chronicles 9:1-4 NIV
Even tho she was queen, had all the power and wealth that goes with it, she had questions. Hard questions.
Questions she'd been wrestling with that kept her up at night
And she went to find answers at the source of wisdom - wisdom that came directly from God.
Where do we look for answers?
Jesus said that a greater than Solomon had arrived - and that was him.
The source
Where answers are found...

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
