El Roi – The God who sees me 7-18-10
Where have we been so far? • The Lord God, the One who created me • El Elohym • The Lord God, the Most High of all • El Elyon • The Lord God – The one who I willingly serve • Adonai
El Roi – The God who sees me • The covenant with Abram – Genesis 15 • The lack of faith of Sarai – Genesis 16 • The implications to Hagar
The deception of emotion • Sarai’s lack of faith leads her to take matters into her own hands • Hagar’s frustration with Sarai • Sarai’s response to Hagar’s frustration • Hagar’s response • God overcomes emotion • 1 John 3:20, Jer 17:9
Hagar’s change of heart • An Egyptian slave girl • Only familiar with gods made by hands that could be seen – interesting irony • Her moment of revelation – You are the God Who Sees Me
What are the implications? • Punitive or Positive? • The Psalmist rejoices – Psalm 139 • What does the NT say? • Matthew 6:1-21
