"The song of songs, which is Solomon's. (The Song of Songs 1:1)
As I said, the reference will be S.O.S. throughout this little journey, as it is important to get right to the point of what I believe this Book represents; and yes, I will be doing everything that I can to do this with an open mind and a heart eager to listen. Save Our Souls, for those that may not know, is what SOS means and why it is the code for distress, mostly for those that were out to sea and caught in something that they feared they might not survive through.
To make something right, sometimes the right is not good enough. It hurts to think of that, but that is the way the cookie crumbles; you just can't put that cookie back together again! But God, who has the power to do anything and everything, He takes the ashes and turns them into beauty; which basically means that He can take what is left from everything that is burned up, and He can turn into a thing that He can use for His glory! After all, that is where everything is beautiful: His Glory!
I am under the belief that this was penned after Solomon had written Ecclesiastes; primarily for the reason that I had stated above; not that this song was the way he might right his wrong, because that was his purpose for Ecclesiastes: this was the Song to celebrate what God was showing and speaking into his heart during the process in written that, "The Words of the Preacher." Which is an odd sort of way to start something, unless that is you are meaning to preach.
For the longest time, I have felt the longing to do just that; however, my life has not felt the least bit clean enough, at least in my our heart, to preach to anyone. (Just so you know where I am coming from and how this relates.) Sometimes those that preach the hardest, need to be preached to the hardest; in other words, they are just saying those things that they are most familiar with and know all to well.
If there is one thing we must never ever forget: God saves sinners! What that actually means, if you don't already know: He saves those that know that they need to be saved; those that will actually call out to Him to save their soul...
""And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he have his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."" (John 3:14-18)
