David Grabbe asserted that Benjamin Franklin, in 1787 at the Constitutional Convention, called for a prayer at the beginning of each session of Congress, suggesting that as the Most High is concerned about every sparrow that falls, He must likewise be mindful of every new government arising. The term “Most High” was actually first used in the meeting of Abram and Melchizedek, in the context of deliverance, redemption, blessing, or intervening in the lives of Abraham’s descendants, including the event of the Passover. The term “Most High” connotes His Providence, deliverance, and faithfulness. God has promised us protection against our enemies, the principalities of darkness. The Passover is a blessing the Most High has given us so we can be victorious in our spiritual battles.
