Peek A Boo!

Little children love the game "Peek-A-Boo". For them, when their eyes are covered no one can see them until they decide. Alas, they grow up and come to realize that even when they cover their eyes other people can still see them.

Sadly, many people play "peek-a-boo" with God. As long as they aren't looking at Him or for Him they assume that they can do what every they want cause He must be busy elsewhere.

Hagar gives a name for God, Elroi, which means "You are a God who sees"

Gen 16:9-14 10 Moreover, the angel of the Lord said to her, " I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count." 11 The angel of the Lord said to her further,
"Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son;And you shall call his name Ishmael,Because the Lord has given heed to your affliction. 12 "He will be a wild donkey of a man,His hand will be against everyone,And every one's hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers." 13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, " You are a God who sees"; for she said, " Have I even remained alive here after seeing Him?" 14 Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. NASU

So do you understand that where ever you are and whatever you do there is God, Elroi? "God who sees."
