A verse for 12/10/11

Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.)

This is the first time in the bible this term is used. Then it becomes a very common title for God in the Old Testament. And wherever it is used it gives us the feeling of God's sovereign surpassing power, His ultimate supremacy. There is no one higher than He is, He is the highest in authority and in preeminence.
Now the use of that term, the Most High, helps to point out the range of God's surpassing supreme sovereignty. For example, in Deuteronomy 32:8 we read, "The Most High divided to the nations their inheritance." In Psalm 47:2, "The Lord Most High is awesome, He is a great King over all the earth." And four times in Daniel's prophecy, he says, "The Most High rules in the earth and gives the kingdoms of men to whomsoever He will."
Now all of those verses tell us that the Most High is sovereign over nations.
