Who is like the Most High? Idolatry of our feelings.
El Elyon means Most High God (Gen 14:20). He is called that for a reason–He is over everything and everyone. He always has and always will be. Can we agree on that?
Good. Because we, His creation,walk around carrying our guilt, shame, fear,anger and insecurity like an umbrella. We put it over our heads and fasten it like a yoke over our shoulders. We cling to it as if it is who we are. But ladies…this is idolatry!! Because of Whose we are, that isn’t who we are. In clinging to them, we’ve made those things bigger than our Most High God!
Why is it we think that what Jesus did to free us from our guilt, shame, fear and insecurity isn’t enough?? Is what we’ve done, experienced or feared more powerful than our Most High God? When Jesus said, “It is finished, ”do you think He meant “It is finished for everyone except ‘Sally?” NO! He is over all of it, making His enemies, and ours, a footstool (Luke 20:43). “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
”Set down your shame, your insecurities and fears…they are idols before He who longs to take their burden from your shoulders. Our “junk ”isn’t too heavy and isn’t more powerful than the cross, and it isn’t bigger than Him! Who is like the Most High God???“
God is higher than anything and anyone, outshining everything you can see in the skies. Who can compare with God, our God, so majestically enthroned…” Psalm 113:4-5 MSG
