                        THE MOST HIGH GOD  EL ELYON 

     Our God has chosen many ways by which to make Himself known to us, in
His various attributes.  He  affixes  different  titles  to denote different
characteristics of His Nature.  

     He  was  known to Abraham,  Isaac and Jacob as "The Breasted One".  

     The Hebrew word for that is EL SHADDAI, meaning "The Nourisher" 

     He revealed Himself to Moses as JEHOVAH,  the Law Giver--the Stern
  One--The Inflexible One.  

     But the title most of us like the best is EL ELYON, which portrays
    His Merciful Nature.  "The God of another chance", has been attributed to
this Title.  It is in this Title we see the Grace of God.  

     Abraham paid his tithes to the Priest of THE MOST  HIGH  GOD.  

    (EL   ELYON).  He knew about the God of Grace--another chance.  

     That is why Jesus was made a High Priest, forever, AFTER THE ORDER OF
MELCHIZEDEK.  Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ.  

     Almost  every  place  in  both the Old Testament and the New Testament,
 where the term "Most High" or "Highest", is used it indicates that God  is
  referring  to  Himself  as  the  God  of  Grace.   

     David was aware of this side of God's Nature--Grace through Faith.  

     Psa 91 is unique.  "He that dwelleth in the secret  place  of The  Most
 High (EL ELYON) shall abide under the shadow of The Almighty (EL SHADDAI) I
will say of The Lord (JEHOVAH)  He  is  my  refuge  and  my fortress my God;
in Him will I trust" 

     David  knew God as The God of GRACE (for when he went astray).  He knew
Him as the NOURISHER (for when he was in need).  He knew  Him  as the  stern,
 inflexible  LAWGIVER--the SHEPHERD who would guide him in the right way
(paths of righteousness), defining and circumscribing, without error, the way
of truth.
