A theology for enjoying God: Part 2

God is higher and greater then all creation he is above and beyond all that is in existence. Therefore he is the greatest being imaginable none can compare to him. So therefore he is the greatest delight in existence for he above anything else that could possibly cause delight. He is the chief delight nothing else can compare.

The supremacy of the true and living God might well be argued from the infinite distance which separates the mightiest creatures from the almighty Creator. He is the Potter, they are but the clay in His hands, to be molded into vessels of honour, or to be dashed into pieces (Psa 2:9) as He pleases. Were all the citizens of heaven and all the inhabitants of the earth to combine in revolt against Him, it would occasion Him no uneasiness, and would have less effect upon His eternal and unassailable Throne than has the spray of Mediterranean's waves upon the towering rocks of Gibraltar. So puerile and powerless is the creature to affect the Most High. Scripture itself tells us that when the Gentile heads unite with apostate Israel to defy Jehovah and His Christ, 'He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh' (Psa 2:4).

This supremacy of God is evident in his sovereignty only a being that is supreme by that is meant greater by far then anything else could truly operate full sovereignty. As Gods complete sovereignty speaks of the fact that he brooks no rivals to his power or none have the capacity to thwart him in anyway for nothing is equal to him in any aspect. And so as such he is the highest delight.

The absolute and universal supremacy of God is affirmed with equal plainness and positiveness in the New Testament. There we are told that God 'worketh all things after the counsel of His own will' (Eph 1:11)--the Greek for 'worketh' means 'to work effectually.' For this reason we read, 'For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen' (Rom 11:36). Men may boast that they are free agents, with a will of their own, and are at liberty to do as they please, but Scripture says to those who boast 'we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell ... Ye ought to say, If the Lord will' (James 4:13,15)!
