Praying the Names of God - June 27

In the midst of her despair Hagar suddenly heard a voice calling: Lift him up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation. Many years later, the psalmist echoed words that must surely have been on Hagar's mind during her ordeal: My eyes fail, looking for my God" Psalm The promise God had made to Hagar and Ishmael so many years before stretched itself thin during their time of trial, but never so thin as to break, for God upheld the word he had spoken years before.

Remember this when you fail for a time to find God's help or to receive answers to your prayers. Ask El Roi, the God who sees you, to open your eyes to his work and to increase your faith even and especially when his promises seem impossible to fulfill. Two of Ann Spangler's most-loved books have been released in paperback: These books help us understand the biblical context in which these names and titles were revealed, and help us gain a more intimate knowledge of the Father and of the Son.

Praying the Names of God - June Editor's Picks What Does Mean?

Marriage Who is Jesus? It is like stumbling upon a treasure in the midst of what you already thought was good and unearthing more than you expected at each turn. It is like finding a well in the midst of a desert, then discovering it is actually a spring that runs eternally deep and will never run dry.

I really enjoy that only one Name is explored for the entire week. This gives the reader time to absorb the meaning - to make it personal and to experience the true character of who God is. The questions cause the reader to dig deeper and apply the knowledge that has been taught. Absolutely worth the read - more than once!

Each chapter includes an overview of the name in the original language, essential Scripture passages, and five days of guided prayers and devotionals illustrating what the name reveals about God's character.

Disappointed I have only just read the introduction but am disappointed to see that once again Ann Spangler does not see the need to capitalize the pronouns for God.

As she studied His names in Hebrew she should have come to see the respect and reverence due His name even in pronoun form. I am although anxious to dig in and see what she has to say.

Also, each week continues on one name, which is fine, just not what I was expecting.

I may pick this devotional back up again someday, but would be happier still if I could find another devotional on the names of God that is better-written, Maybe I'm just not a fan of this type of devotional, but I felt it was a bit light in some parts and a bit stretched out in others. Though I do emphasise that this is a genre I've not read a lot of, so it may be more that I'm not keen on this style of book, rather than anything wrong with this specific book. Excellent book, great devotional material! Several of the metaphors and illustrations are really sticking with me.

I used the audio book and found the voice over artist slightly annoying. Sometimes the book has a very conversational tone, and the vocal artist read in a very distant professional way. I found this detracted a bit from the material. Sep 01, Angela Dawn rated it liked it. I was really interested in knowing all the names that God was called throughout the Bible.

It took me too long to read it because I tried to do it as a daily study, and I don't do anything regularly. It is a cursory study and the scripture readings are pertinent. I really wish I had better things to say because I think it deserves it. Or maybe I was looking for something more in depth.
