("And Malki-Tzedek, King of Shaleim, brought out bread and wine, and he is the priest to the Divine G-d. And he blessed him and said: "Blessed is Avram to the Divine G-d, the Master of the Heavens and the Earth. And blessed is the Divine G-d that gave your enemies into your hand," and he gave him tithes from everything." 14:18-20).
Our Sages teach us that the holy Malki-Tzedek (Sheim son of Noach) made here a mistake by first blessing Avraham and only afterwards Hashem. As great and beyond hasaga (comprehension) is Avraham Avinu, just imagine Hashem, the One who created him! (P.S. You're plenty great too).
And with that we will mention a Torah from Rebbi Moshe Shapira z"l:
Sheim was one of three sons: Sheim, Yefes, and Cham. Says Rebbi Moshe: these three correspond to the three levels of the soul: neshama, ruach, nefesh, respectively, which are associated with the brain, heart, and liver, respectively. Now, says Rebbi Moshe, there are three types of musical instruments: string, wind, and percussion (drums), and these in fact correlate to these three levels: Sheim (that's us, his descendants) is string instruments, and so we find Dovid haMelech with a kinor (harp). String instruments in particular bring us closer to Hashem.
And then there are wind instruments like flutes, which correspond to Yefes (Yavan, which is Greece, and the Hebrew word יון even resembles a wind instrument, with three tubes of different lengths), which is ruach ("wind"). And finally Cham, which correspond to percussion (drums). Until today, you can find wild cannibals in Africa banging their drums as they prepare "lunch"... Rebbi Moshe held that drums are not such an important instrument. (P.S. If you happen to play drums, it's fine). (From Looking into the Sun by Rabbi Menachem Nissel shlit"a).
