Supremacy

You can buy a supreme pizza. Or maybe you want to indulge in the supreme luxury package at the spa. You can eat a burrito supreme. The one thing I find that all of these have in common...there is a lesser version lurking somewhere if you don't want the top of the line. El Eyon - God Supreme. Unlike our earthly supreme there is no lesser version of God upon which to settle. He is the one and only. If you study His supremacy you will find that He is the one who gives riches and makes poor, He gives life and He brings death, He is the healer and the wound. Nothing can come at you without His divine permission. Everything that has ever or will ever exist is because of Him, through Him and for His glory. Honestly though, would you want something lesser from your God? A washed down version of supremacy? How about one who could only handle requests between 9 am and 5 pm Monday through Friday? Or a god who could deal with your happiness but pushed away all sorrow? A god who healed but only sometimes and only for some people? Maybe you would want one who showed up on time but not always? Or better yet one who had your best interest at heart except when he didn't? No you want the one and only. The God who can truly say "the buck stops here." Nobody touches Angela except if I say they can. Nothing comes against her that I don't provide for her to handle. Her money, her health, her job are all at my hand and in my control. You might be wondering where is the free will in that? How can I choose if He is really supreme? If His presence is so strong a hedge around me how can I exert my own way? He is our strong tower..we run to Him and we are safe. He protects us and directs us...but every tower has a door or maybe just a window called free will. An opening that allows us to walk right out of His protection into the darkness alone. You can make the choice to leave Him. You can fly at will into the storm...and when the wind has knocked down your sail and the shoreline is rocky and death is just over the horizon...He is the lighthouse..a tower on a hill..a beacon to steer towards and regardless of what you say, do or believe He is that He is and He reigns supreme and eternal. And He is waiting for your return!
