"The Names of God" by Rose publishing, Inc.

       Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Hallowed is honor as Holy.  Throughout scripture, God reveals himself to us through His name.  There are over 100 names used to describe God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit.  Each of these names tells us something about God's Character and holds a special message of encouragement for us today.                                                                                  In this book, we will find some of God's names, when they were used the first time and where.            On  page 11, we find the name, El Roi, the God who sees me.  I love it that God sees ME, and that He still takes care and loves me with all my faults, just as He did Hagar, the handmaid of Sarai in Genesis16:11-14kjv                                                                                                                                 11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.

12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13 And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.                        (
Beer-lahai-roi
 "the well of him that liveth and seeth me," or, as some render it, "the well of the vision of life", the well where the Lord met with Hagar)                                                                                As we come to know His glorious names, our faith and confidence in Him will be strengthened.  Today we'll close with Psalms 9:10,   And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.                                                                                                                                                                 What "Names of God" speak to you?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Dawn Wier
