the supremacy of his wisdom that has never been perplexed by any complication and can never be counseled the wisest of men;
the supremacy of his authority over heaven and earth and hell, without whose permission no man and no demon can move one inch, who changes times and seasons, removes kings and sets up kings; does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; so none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?”;
the supremacy of his providence without which not a single bird falls to the ground in the furthest reaches of the Amazon forest, or a single hair of any head turns black or white;
the supremacy of his word that moment by moment upholds the universe and holds in being all the molecules and atoms and subatomic world we have never yet dreamed of;
the supremacy of his power to walk on water, cleanse lepers and heal the lame, open the eyes of the blind, cause the deaf to hear and storms to cease and the dead to rise, with a single word, or even a thought;
the supremacy of his purity never to sin, or to have one millisecond of a bad attitude or an evil, lustful thought;
the supremacy of his trustworthiness never to break his word or let one promise fall to the ground;
the supremacy of his justice to render in due time all moral accounts in the universe settled either on the cross or in hell;
the supremacy of his patience to endure our dullness for decade after decade; and to hold back his final judgment on this land and on the world, that many might repent;
the supremacy of his sovereign, servant obedience to keep his Father’s commandments perfectly and then embrace the excruciating pain of the cross willingly;
the supremacy of his meekness and lowliness and tenderness that will not break a bruised reed or quench a smoldering wick;
