God Most High

When God dealt with Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, He revealed Himself as God Most High. He, of course, was not suggesting that of all the gods, He was at the top, but that He was The God, The Most High. His message--"I humble the proud." Always. Who are the proud? Those who look over what they have accomplished and exclaim: "I did this. Not God. Me. Am I great, or what?" Woe, to the man or woman or nation that believes that. If plans are not made according to God's leading and in agreement with God's definition of truth and justice, those plans will fail. If a nation thinks that its military power and prowess make it invincible, God can destroy it in a day. He has in the past. When a people believe that they have the right to declare their own morality, they are on the slippery slope to hedonism--and the destruction of all things good. We need to pray for leaders that make their plans and decide on the solutions to our problems on their knees. We need to pray that our leaders will understand our vulnerability to defeat and destruction when we trust in our chariots and horses and not in Him. We need to pray for leaders who embrace God as the only source of truth and justice. And, even more importantly, we need to make our plans and approach our struggles on our knees. We need to quit trusting in our horses and chariots to give us the victory. We need to live by His definition of truth and justice. 

"Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and shield. For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name. Let Thy lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in Thee."
