I am a repeat offender… And by this, I mean I play these songs on repeat.
On this particular lyric,
The Answer’s never black or white
We may not know until the other side
The singer is entitled to his opinion.
I on the other hand, hold to the conviction that there are ultimately just two choices, good and evil, black or white; we can see this ultimate reality laid out in the Book of Genesis (the beginning of the book),
“In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”
Genesis 2:9b
“And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
Genesis 2:16-17
and on Revelation 3:15 (the end of the book),
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!”
This flower is the tallest one out of what I sowed this year.
“Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed,
for His mercies never fail.
23They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness!
24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in Him.”
25The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
to the soul who seeks Him.”
Lamentations 3:22-25
