Friend, Genesis 14:20 is one of those quiet porch-side verses that carries a whole lot of weight.

“Blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.”

Picture Abram standing there after the battle. Dust on his boots. Weariness in his bones. And before anyone throws a parade or hands out credit, Melchizedek lifts his eyes and says, God did this.

That’s the reminder we all need.

Victories don’t come from strength alone. Provision doesn’t come from hustle alone. Deliverance doesn’t come from strategy alone. The Most High God is the One who brings us through.

And then Abram does something powerful—he gives God the first and the best. Not because he has to, but because gratitude overflows when you recognize the source of the blessing.

Sometimes we rush past moments like this. We pat ourselves on the back. We explain it away. We say, “I just worked hard.”

But porch wisdom says, Pause. Look up. Acknowledge who carried you, protected you, and delivered you.

If God brought you through it, He deserves the praise for it. And when you give Him the glory first, you’ll find your heart steadier, your gratitude deeper, and your trust stronger.

Sit with that truth tonight. The Most High God is still delivering His people—and He hasn’t missed you yet.
