Work has been crazy for us too, so I feel a little bit of the chaos. I've not spent enough time in the word, and it's obvious. This study has been so great though, because it's teaching me those names to cry out in the middle of my struggle, when work has totally overwhelmed me, when I don't know where to turn next. <br /><br />I think so much about if my life is glorifying Him. I have so many faults and so many bad traits, and I tend to focus too much on that. I pray every morning that my answers and my thoughts and my actions bring glory to Him. I know it won't always be that way, because I'm sinful, but I try! I loved reading about El Elyon because I've never really focused on His sovereignty. I know what it means, but never thought on how it applies to me. I'm so thankful that He is sovereign. Where would we be without that??<br /><br />Reading your passage about El Roi made me cry. That is SUCH a perfect example of El Roi...God sees. I can't imagine how hard it was to be in that situation, but I hope you have a little glimpse of His plan and that He had you in the palm of His hand the whole time. Arthur is so so true....it WILL be used for good, and I hope that you know that deep down.<br /><br />I'm so blessed by you and am grateful you've joined in with us...this week has been so so good to me. There are moments when the questions seem a little silly or monotonous, but then God reveals something really cool to me and it changes my whole perspective. I'm so thankful for this study! I can't wait to keep going. Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921264796115903641noreply@blogger.com
