TO BEAR HIS NAME - Weekly Insights into the Names of God
(Taken from the To Bear HIs Name Study by Sandra J. Mikler Davis)
(El) Elyon
Dwelling in the shelter of the Most High grants perfect peace and security. The Most High is a most Perfect dwelling place, a place of worship, splendor and majesty. To gaze upon the Most High is the greatest joy of being His creation.
Psalm 91 describes the promises to us of God Most High, and is a most amazing Psalm to meditate upon!
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, 'My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!' Psalm 91:1-2
It is the God Most High who holds all power in the universe, and He is the One who orchestrates the days, times, seasons, and powers who rule.
He is the Most High who accomplishes all things great and small, insignificant and major, and as El Elyon, is our Defender and Redeemer. He is worthy of majesty, praise and thanksgiving.
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, ‘Keep your gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him. O king, the Most High God granted sovereignty, grandeur, glory and majesty to Nebuchadnezzar your father. Because of the grandeur which He bestowed on him, all the peoples, nations, and men of every language feared and trembled before him ... Daniel 5:17-19a
APPLICATION:
- Read Psalm 91 and write out one promise that you will place in a prominent place so you can see it each day this week.
