The Most High God (May 25)
The first 3 chapters of the book
describe the spiritual integrity
of Daniel and his three friends.
Selected for government service,
they resist the pressure to conform
to their pagan environment and
instead take a stand for God.
Whether in diet, truthfulness or
spiritual discipline, the four young
men live out their convictions.
All Praise be to El Elyon:
Look! he answered: I see four
men loose, walking in the midst
of the fire; and they are not hurt,
and the form of the fourth is like
the Son of God. Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of
the blazing furnace and shouted:
Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego,
servants of the Most High God
(El Elyon), Come here! So
Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego
came out of the fire (Daniel 3:26).
Lord El Elyon, thank You for
showing us time and again that
You are over all, and delivering us
from the snares of the enemy.
You hold the power in Your hand
to keep the flames of life’s trials
from scorching us; and You have
the power to save. We will not
fear what man can do, for You
are El Elyon, the Most High God,
and You Lord are for us. Amen.
Lord El Elyon, we may tremble
when life’s troubles surrounds us,
whether in work, finances or
health through worry or fear.
Yet You Lord are El Elyon, Most
High God and knows everything.
Forgive us for looking only at
what we can see, things that
seem so certain to harm us
rather than looking at You.
Lord El Elyon, we ask You manifest
Your might more & more each day.
Too often we look to ourselves
when we get into difficulties;
and so often we become fearful.
Help us look to You; for You are
not only Creator God, but also
Elyon Most High. Grant us power
when we feel faint; increase
our strength when we are weak;
and help us wait upon You. Amen.
