Why We Call Him El Elyon

When Abraham lifted his eyes to the sky, he didn't invent a god. He met El Elyon - and the name changed everything.

"I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. " - Psalm 9:2

A Title of Majesty

"For the LORD Most High is awesome" (Psalm 47:2). Majesty is not a mood for God; it is who He is.

A Title of Shelter

The Most High is also the psalmist's refuge. To be under the Highest is to be covered.

A Title That Demands a Response

You cannot meet the Most High and stay the same. Bow, believe, and belong.

A Prayer

El Elyon, You are above every fear and every power. I place my life beneath Your rule today. Amen.
