A daily devotional exploring the names of God in scripture. Our
website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com.
- Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm
your host Richard Agee.
- El-Elyon, the Lord most high, nothing compares to Him. Let’s
hear more about His name.
- Scripture
- Genesis 14:17-20; Isaiah 14:13-14
- After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings
allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the
Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
Then Melchizedek king of Salem
brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he
blessed Abram, saying,
“Blessed be Abram by God Most
High,
Creator of heaven and earth.
And praise be to God Most High,
who delivered your enemies into your
hand.”
Then Abram gave him a tenth of
everything.
-
- You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of
assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount
Zaphon.
I will ascend above the tops of the
clouds;
I will make myself like the Most
High.”

- Devotional
- El-Elyon, the Most High God
- Elyon, up, high
- el-Elyon, could be translated, the extremely exalted,
sovereign, high, God
- If there were any other gods, our God would be high above all
others, none other would come close
- El-Elyon, the God so high none other can compare
- In an age of polytheism
- Abram recognized and worshiped only El-Elyon
- Melchizedek, king of Salem, served as a priest and he too
recognized only one God, El-Elyon, God Most High
- They both understood nothing could compare to Creator of all
things
- El-Elyon is the only One worthy of worship
- The world tries to convince us otherwise
- From the first deception in the garden of eden
- Success
- Fame
- Wealth
- Pleasures of life
- None can take the place of El-Elyon
- Today remember we worship El-Elyon, God Most High, the
Extremely Exalted, Sovereign, Most High God. Nothing compares to
Him
