Jehovah the Most High
“… be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up” Daniel 3:18
Kofi Thompson penned the lyrics to a popular worship song – Jehovah You Are The Most High. The first verse says,
“All other gods
They are the works of man
But you are the Most High God
There’s none like You”
Reminds me of the story written in Daniel 3. Three of the Jewish young men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to obey this command, and were duly brought before the king and commanded to either worship the image, or be thrown into a fiery furnace. As we read in the verse above, even as they faced death, they respectfully, but firmly, refused to worship any god but the true God who they served. Why? Because He is The Most High God. Of all the beautiful things to do in this life, to me there is only one thing that surpasses all others, and that is to truly worship the King of glory.
