HE
THAT IS ABOVE
To
be above is to be in a higher place. To be above is to be superior. To be above
is to be higher in rank, status and position. To be above is to surpass all. To
be above is to be higher in all measures, degree, and volume. To be above is to
be on top. John 3 vs. 31: He that cometh
from above is above all; he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of
the earth; he that cometh from heaven is above all. GOD is He that is
Above. He is sovereign. He sitteth in Heaven and makes the earth his footstool.
Isaiah 66 vs. 1: Thus saith the LORD,
the heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool; where is the house that
ye build unto me? And where is the place of my rest? No wonder his thoughts
are not that of men, neither are his ways that of men. Isaiah 55 vs. 8-9: For my thoughts are not your thought, neither are
your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than yours. He
sitteth upon the circle of the earth and inhabitants are as grasshopper. Isaiah 40 vs. 22: It is he that sitteth
upon the cicle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof spreadeth them out as
a tent to dwell in. Jethro acknowledged He is above all other gods. Exodus 18 vs. 11: Now I know that the LORD
is greater than all gods; for in the thing therein they dealt proudly he was
above them. The Psalmist wrote in Psalm
97 vs. 9: For thou, O LORD art high
above all the earth; thou art exalted far above all gods. Psalm 135 vs. 5: For I
know that the LORD is great, and that our LORD is above all gods.
Moreover, GOD our father expects us his children to also be above.
Unfortunately, many are below and not above. To be above you must hearken
diligently unto the voice of GOD. To be above you must observe and to do all
his commandments which he commands us to do. That is when GOD will set us high
above all nations of the earth. Deuteronomy
28 vs. 1: And it shall come to pass if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the
voice of the LORD thy GOD, to observe
and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy
GOD will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. Vs. 13: And the LORD
shall make thee the head; and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only; and
thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the
LORD thy GOD which I command thee this day to observe and to do them. As
children of the GOD that is above, He expects us to be the head and not tail,
above and not beneath. Start this week by asking for grace to be steadfast in
observing and doing all GOD commands so he will lift you above. Kindly, share
with others. It is well with us.
