El Roi ~ The God Who Sees
El Roi was first
revealed in the Bible by Hagar. She was Sarah's handmaiden, who became pregnant
with Abraham's child so, in their minds, they could fulfill the promise of God.
Soon after the child was conceived, things became very difficult between Sarah
and her. So much so, that Hagar fled out into the wilderness. Friendless,
homeless, pregnant, not knowing what would become of her, she laid down by a
fountain in the wilderness. There, an angel appeared to her to give her comfort
and to speak of God's grace and mercy. Genesis 16:13 says: "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?" Did you know that God sees
you right now? God knows your very thoughts. His eye is on the sparrow and I
know He watches me.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
