Since a king’s word is supreme, who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
Ecclesiastes 8:4
- Supremacy in its dictionary meaning is the state or condition of being superior to all others in authority, power, or status.
"the supremacy of our king" to allow things to happen the way they are probably in our lives or in a nation clearly points out his supremacy or lordship...if he allowed Lazarus to die, that his power be manifested, of course one would ask why Jesus's friend had to die especially when Jesus was able to heal him.
- Job lost all he had, afflicted and brought to a daily agonizing moments that He God, the one supreme over job's life would take pride in his faith, of course one would say to job curse your GOD, renounce him, of what help is he?... who could have asked him what are you doing to job if one knew why and what he was doing?
- It's written that all things happen for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose...God allows all things to happen, just like in job's or Lazarus's situation or merely your circumstance that God's supremacy, his power (Lazarus's resurrection). God yielding faith in job that through faith in God he could persevere to reflect depth of God's supremacy in him.
I'm pretty sure ...that what's happening in your life not as devastating as that of job or Lazarus is but a condition God's allowed for the manifestation of his supremacy...asking what is happening to you according to me should only be a petition to God that he may reveal it as that of Lazarus, Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”
- John 11:5...11....maybe your situation isn't a sleeping one or affliction as that of job, but it's best you take a nap, believing that God he who is supreme over you has it all happening for your good because HE LOVES YOU.
