El Elyon – The God Most High.

El Elyon – The God Most High.

Duet 4:34…I praised and worshiped the Most High God and honored the One who lives forever. His rule is everlasting. His kingdom is eternal. He has power to do as He pleases, among the angels of heaven and those who live on the earth (that means me).

Daniel 2:20-23 (NLT)
God alone has all wisdom and power. He determines the course of world events. He removes kings and sets others on the throne. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what is hidden in darkness, though He himself is surrounded by light.

Duet 32:39
There is no other God than Me. I Am the One who kills and gives life. I am the One who wounds and heals. No one delivers from My power.

As I ponder on these and other verses that speak of Your sovereignty, I am awed that You take notice of me. Yet because of Your sovereign nature, You are completely in control of all that is going on in Iraq. The problems of controlling the terrorism and setting up a government of the people. You took Saddam Hussein out of power and You will set up the new government. You placed George Bush in power and You will keep him there until his job is done.

I recognize that I am just exactly where you want me. My life and times are in Your very capable hands. Thank you for reminding me once again of Your love and care.

Isaiah 45:4 (NLT) “I will be your God (Jean) throughout your lifetime until your hair is white with age. I made you and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.”

I bow to Your sovereignty. I acknowledge that I can do nothing in my own strength. You may have to literally “carry me” through to the end of my days. I accept that – if it is from you. Keep me ever mindful of who you are – as I continue to delve deeper into Your character. Mold me knot the image of Your Son.
