The Funny Farm

In a past entry I talked about a book I was reading - "Praying the Names of God" by Ann Spangler.  The book covers 26 different names of G-d and spans about a 6 month time frame.  I t is a daily devotional and can be used as a Bible Study. 

Over the past few years, I have met with some friends to do a Bible study.  We are on again and off again....  A few weeks ago when I started this book, my friend called and said that we really need to start meeting.  So last Monday we started up again.  Please pray for us as we unpack God's word and mystery in our lives.

This morning as I was reflecting on the devotion for today, I thought I would like to share this with all of you.  So stay tuned and each week I will Print the name of God for you and the key verses for you to reflect on.

If you want, the book is as follows and I would love it if you wanted to do it on line with me and share your thoughts each week:)

El Roi (El Raw-EE)

"The God Who Sees"

1.  Genesis 16:1-14

Thoughts - El Roi, is so watchful that he is said to know even when a sparrow falls to the ground.  This is the one who watches over us today, whether or not we recognize his presence.  He knows our past (mistakes made, hurts endured), he knows our present (steps forward and stumblings backward) and he knows our future (where he wants us to go and the healing and the beauty).

More thoughts tomorrow!  Until then, praying for a beautiful day and praying that you remember God is lovingly watching over you and when we fall He will pick us up!

Blessings,

Flossie
