1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
2. El-Elyon, the Lord most high, nothing compares to Him. Let’s hear more about His name.
3. Scripture
   1. Genesis 14:17-20; Isaiah 14:13-14
   2. After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).

Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,  and he blessed Abram, saying,

“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,

Creator of heaven and earth.

And praise be to God Most High,

who delivered your enemies into your hand.”

Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

1. 3. You said in your heart,

“I will ascend to the heavens;

I will raise my throne

above the stars of God;

I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,

on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.

I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;

I will make myself like the Most High.”

3. 3. 4. Devotional
         1. El-Elyon, the Most High God
            1. Elyon, up, high
            2. el-Elyon, could be translated, the extremely exalted, sovereign, high, God
            3. If there were any other gods, our God would be high above all others, none other would come close
            4. El-Elyon, the God so high none other can compare
         2. In an age of polytheism
            1. Abram recognized and worshiped only El-Elyon
            2. Melchizedek, king of Salem, served as a priest and he too recognized only one God, El-Elyon, God Most High
            3. They both understood nothing could compare to Creator of all things
            4. El-Elyon is the only One worthy of worship
         3. The world tries to convince us otherwise
            1. From the first deception in the garden of eden
            2. Success
            3. Fame
            4. Wealth
            5. Pleasures of life
            6. None can take the place of El-Elyon
         4. Today remember we worship El-Elyon, God Most High, the Extremely Exalted, Sovereign, Most High God. Nothing compares to Him
