Just two more days in the ‘and now for something completely different’ style post.
I have been giving you links to the places I found when doing this study. I have only given you a couple of links a day as I don’t want to overwhelm you, but you can find for yourself which ones are personally helpful to you.
preceptaustin.org this is more general.
smilegodlovesyou.org gives a list of names of God, their meaning and 1 or 2 bible verses.
Have you ever wanted to have eyes in the back of your head? It wasn’t until I got Hamish that I found myself wanting that. There are many times I would love to be able to see where Hamish is and what he is up to, at all times.
Sometimes I find him doing funny or cute things that I have just missed out on. Other times it’s because he is about to eat a battery or other things he shouldn’t be doing.
I would love to have eyes in the back of my head so I could warn Him of the danger or encourage him when he is doing something good. I don’t have that with my dog but thankfully we have all that with our God.

El Roi
'The God who sees'
'The God who sees'
Hagar used El Roi in her prayer when God saw her misery and spoke to her.
Genesis 16:13 “She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: "You are the God who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the One who sees me."
Do you think God is too big to care about you, or wonder if He knows about your situation or need?
El Roi sees everything and everyone all at once outside of time, knowing the fine details (basically what omniscient means.) El Roi knows the motive of our hearts, our thoughts before they are formed.
Psalm 139 has to be one of the most comforting and awe inspiring passage in the whole bible if we are Christians. Knowing that God knows us that well! As verse 6 says “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.”
We can experience what Hagar felt.
When God answers prayer, changes circumstances and comforts us; seeing God working, then we too can say “I have now seen the One who sees me.”
There will be a day, what an amazing day that will be, when we will physically see Jesus.
In the meantime we can see God at work.
Have you prayed about your situation?
God wants to answer our prayers so we know that it was God that made it happen so our faith is strengthened. But we have to take it to God first!
And if the answer is ‘wait’ or ‘no’ then God wants us to trust Him as He is El Roi. We can’t see everything only God can – El Roi sees the big picture. When God says no it’s because He has something better planned for you!
Do you know El Roi sees all – the secret sin, the wrong motives: do you need to repent (turn away) from something(s)?
El Roi also sees
- All the good that you do in secret.
- The love in your heart when you do the sometimes unthanked jobs for the church or ministry for Him.
- The love and unselfishness of being a stay at home mum, and or spending time teaching your children the bible and how they should be as people.
- The unseen background jobs in service to Him.
- Your faithfulness to God throughout, and in those difficult situations.
God sees it all and you will be rewarded and thanked for it. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
So don’t give up!
El Roi - either comforting or terrifying.
If terrifying, come to El Roi today and trust, confess and repent of your sins so you may find the comfort and peace from walking with God.
