Here’s the very honest truth.
If I were “doing” the Bible, I wouldn’t include the SOS.
I read it every year as part of my reading plan, but I’m telling you right now, I don’t know why God included it.
Which brings me to another thought …
I’m glad I’m not God. I’m sure you are also, but I am very happy and content that I don’t know everything, can’t figure it all out, realize that the mystery of life is evidence, not of merely a “higher power” but of the God of the Bible.
So back to “the Song” …
God chose to include it. As I said earlier, I would not have done so.
And my God is big enough and gracious enough and merciful enough to allow me to feel this way and to express it (even on the Internet) and he will still let me know that he loves me with an eternal love.
So … this evening I will sit down and read “the Song” and thank my God for every word of his sovereign choice.
And I praise my God!
