Thirst: "Lord, I Want to Know You"


11th-12th grade girls in "Thirst" are going through Kay Arthur's "Lord I Want to Know You" which teaches about the character of God by studying His Biblical Names. For example, this week we are focusing on God Most High, El Elyon. This name designates God as the sovereign, ruler of the universe. This is the name Daniel uses when he is thanking God for interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's dream to him. It is the name Isaiah uses when quoting God to the Israelites in regards to their future. The same God Most High is in control of all people, circumstances, and happenings of today!


Memory Verse: "I will cry to God Most High, to God who accomplishes all things for me." Psalm 57:2


Quote from Book:
"If God is not sovereign, if He is not in control, if all things are not under His dominion, then He is not the Most High, and you and I are either in the hands of fate (whatever that is), in the hands of man, or in the hands of the devil." - Kay Arthur
