God's Name El-Elyon

Psalm 57: 2, 11

El-Elyon (God Most High)

I cry out to God Most High, to God Who fulfills His purpose for me.
Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May Your Glory shine over all the Earth.

Our God is God Most High, the Great God of the Universe. He alone is holy. He alone is good. He fills all and is in all. In Him we live and move and have our being. All glory and honor belongs to Him, He alone deserves all honor and all glory, because He has done all things, and has done all things well. 

He is perfect. His Plan of the Ages is perfect, and all His plans for each of us are all perfect, and fit perfectly into His great Plan of the Ages. He is so powerful and so wise as to use all our choices that we seem to make so freely to further His Plans. Whether we choose wisely or foolishly,or even evilly, God uses it to further His will.

O my dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are God, and we are not! Thank You for being God Most High, above every other thing that has ever been worshiped. All those other gods have demons behind them, or even Satan himself. You alone, my Lord, deserve all worship and adoration. 

Continue to work out Your complete Plan, Father, even when it leads to Your children suffering, as it will. No gain in this World is worth the loss it would entail in Your Kingdom. Strengthen Your sons and daughters as times grow more perilous for them over more and more areas of the World. Let them feel Your Presence with them, and let them know that their brothers and sisters are lifting them up in prayer. 

Continue to lead me, my dear Father, as I approach this corner in my life. I don't know what lies ahead for me, but You do, and I trust You to show me the way You have designed my feet to follow, as I follow You.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
