One reason that Solomon was called wise is that he did not ignore the reality of evil in the world.
He acknowledged it and lamented it. In a world where overwhelming evil threatens to overcome
us, we are called to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Jesus was relentless in doing
good: saving, rescuing, forgiving, healing, etc. So let us not grow weary of doing good, for in
due season we will reap, if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9).
