King Solomon has been meditating on the affairs of God, and the fact that man cannot know or even start to understand God’s Ways. He also acknowledged that God sovereignly controls the affairs of both the righteous and the wicked, according to His inscrutable design…allowing both good & bad things to happen to all people. I couldn’t help then to think of the old African American spiritual from the 1920’s …”He’s got the Whole World in His Hands.” Talk about covering every detail in song, it does! The verses tell us that God has the wind & the rain, the tiny babies, you & me brother & sister, and ending with, “He’s got everybody in His hands.” Solomon’s reflection on the sovereignty and power of God concluded the same thing…that no matter who we are…God has us in His hands.
