After Abram has defeated those who took his nephew and the
people of Sodom away as slaves, he is met by Melchizedek, the King of Salem (or
King of Righteousness). God is first
referred to as the Most High God by this Gentile priest, and the name God Most
High is used frequently when referring to God as the God of the Jews and the
Gentiles.
As we think of Who we belong to and Who we serve, this title
reminds us that He is Creator of heaven and earth, the One who made it all, who
made us, and “in whom we live and have our very being.” Without God Most High decreeing it should be
so, we wouldn’t take one more breath. We
wouldn’t live here, now. Everything we
have and are is His.
Yet He is gracious and showers us with incredible blessings
every day. He calls us to be the conduit
of His love and His blessing to those around us that they, too, may come to
know God the Most High.
Isn’t it amazing that the Creator of heaven and earth wants
us to reflect His generous nature as we join Him in His redemptive work here on
earth?
