GREAT DELIGHT IN THE LORD

1. An ancient Title
The phrase “The LORD Most High” reminds us of a similar phrase in the Book of Genesis. This phrase was used in association with Melchizedek who was described as “the priest of God Most High”. Note the blessing pronounced on Abram:
“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,
Possessor of heaven and earth;
And blessed be God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”
Genesis 14:19-20
