Why do smart people do silly things ??
Obviously a good brain is not enough to keep a person from making bad choices. Experience and the Bible tell us that the smartest person could make bad choices. King Solomon, despite knowing the connection between the heart and wisdom, disobeyed God by marrying foreign women. As a result the Lord said, “I will surely tear the kingdom away from you” (1 Kings 11 : 11)
The ability to make good decisions demands a heart devoted to God
1 kings 11 : 6
Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and did
not fully follow the Lord.
