El-Elyon

There have been moments in my life when I have felt so alone and so forsaken by God that I really didn't know where else to turn.  There is nowhere else.  He is the only Help we have. 

I needn't have fretted.  He never stepped down from His throne. 

Nebuchadnezzar found that out.  Just when he was really beginning to enjoy his own Babylonian throne and all his stuff and his peeps, God turned him into a beast of the field to eat grass for a few years, 7 to be exact. 

In the end, this great king bowed his face to the one true God:

I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever,

 for his dominion is an everlasting dominion,

and  his kingdom endures from generation to generation;

all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,

and he does according to his will among the host of heaven

and among the inhabitants of the earth;

and none can stay his hand

or say to him, “What have you done?”  (Daniel 4)

Our God is El-Elyon, God Most High. 

He does all that He wishes in all the earth. 

And He is my God. this God Most High.

Hear the Psalmist's words in Psalm 21:

For you make him most blessed forever;1

you make him glad with the jjoy of your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord,

and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be kmoved.

Because of His presence, I have joy.

Because of His steadfast love, I will not be moved. 

I will not.
