“I will give thanks to the Lord because of His righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.” (Psalm 7:17 NIV)
When a subject comes before a king, he kneels down. He is acknowledging that he is in the presence of his master. When a believer -- in any religion -- prays to his god, he kneels down. He is acknowledging that he is in the presence of his master. When a young man asks a woman to marry him, he gets down on one knee. He is acknowledging that he is in the presence of his master.
One of God's most important names, used some fifty times in the Bible is "Most High." All the signals of transcendence point toward Him. He is over all. In Him we come to the mountain that cannot be conquered or measured.
-- John Ortberg in “Faith & Doubt”
