Applying What We Have Learned

Our topic this week is the sovereignty of God as we explore what the Scriptures teach us about the name El Elyon, God Most High.  We're doing some "heavy lifting" this week as we will be examining a number of Scripture references to see what we can learn and then how we can apply it to our lives.  What difference does this aspect of God's character make to us?  How does understanding this aspect of His nature help us to know His name as a "strong tower" into which we can run and be safe?

As you read each of the following passages, note what God is sovereign over or what the passage tells you about His sovereignty:

• Isaiah 5:5-7
• 1 Samuel 1:5-6
• 1 Samuel 2:6-10
• Isaiah 45:6-7
• John 19:10-11

What did you learn that you can apply to your life today?  Think about that, and we'll continue tomorrow.
