El Elyon – God Most High
Life often feels chaotic. Between unexpected struggles, difficult decisions, and an uncertain future, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But there is peace in knowing that God is above it all. He is not limited by circumstances, nor is He shaken by the troubles of this world. He is El Elyon—God Most High.
This name reminds us that God is sovereign, powerful, and in control. No matter what we face, nothing is beyond His authority. When we trust in El Elyon, we can rest in His perfect rule, knowing that He works all things for His glory and our good.
El Elyon in the Bible
The name El Elyon first appears in Genesis 14:18-20, when Melchizedek, the priest of God Most High, blesses Abraham and declares, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.”
Later, in Psalm 57:2, David prays, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.” Even in the face of trials, David trusted that El Elyon was in control.
In the New Testament, Jesus is revealed as the ultimate fulfillment of El Elyon. Philippians 2:9 declares, “God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name.” Jesus reigns as King over all creation, and nothing is beyond His rule.
What This Means for Us Today
Because El Elyon is above all things, we don’t have to live in fear. The economy, politics, sickness, or uncertainty about the future—none of these things are greater than God.
When we feel powerless, we can find peace in knowing that our lives are in the hands of the Most High God. He sees, He knows, and He is working everything together for His perfect plan.
A Prayer to El Elyon
El Elyon, You are God Most High. Nothing is beyond Your control, and nothing is greater than You. When I feel overwhelmed, remind me that You are sovereign over every situation. I choose to trust in Your power, Your wisdom, and Your perfect plan. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Trust in God Most High
El Elyon reigns over all things. No situation is too great for Him, and no detail is too small. Trust in His perfect rule and rest in His peace.
