The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Tuesday 6th August 2024 Is “El-Elyon”
Read: Psalms 91:1-2
1. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Memorise: Psalm 47:2
For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth
Our God is the most high, the Creator and Ruler of all. The name El-Elyon means that God is the only true, powerful God. To the children of Israel, He showed his powerful act when He parted the Red Sea, and for the disciples, He calmed the storm. These, among many miracles, make me adore and revere God. Therefore, when I think of Him as El-Elyon, my heart leaps for joy because He already promised, in today’s Bible reading, that there is safety under His shadow. This is why I am assured that no evil can come near me.
As El-Elyon, God cannot stand being compared with other ‘gods’. He is so jealous that when He is your God, nothing and no one should compete with Him in your life. Therefore, you must be careful not to erect idols in your heart or around you so as not to infuriate Him. He must be the God Most High over everything: your academics, career, finance, job, family, et cetera. I implore you to ask God to search your heart like David prayed in Psalm 139:23-24. Ask Him to remove all idols in your life for Him to be your El-Elyon.
