He is our Jehovah-shammah, The Lord is There. It was a very long lesson and we learned many things this week.
1. What does Jehovah-shammah mean?
2. Another name for God is Qanna, Jealous. What relationship did you see between the two names, the Lord Is There and Jealous?
3. What picture did you see in your mind when you read the account of the Lord's departure from the inner court in Jerusalem? How did that affect you emotionally?
4. How would you define God's jealousy? How do you see God's jealousy in relation to yourself?
5. After God reluctantly departed from His people in the Ezekiel account, we see Him again in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ - Jehovah-shammah, the Lord Is There. He walked among them as:
Adonai
Jehovah-jireh
Jehovah-raah
Jehovah-nissi
Jehovah-tsidkenu
Jehovah-sabaoth
Jehovah-rapha
Jehovah-mekoddishkem
Jehovah-shalom
Still they rejected Him! You have studied the names of God. You know Him as His people Israel knew Him. They rejected Him. What have you done with Him? Who is He to you?

O Beloved, may we live in the knowledge of who He is!

5. Where is one to go for healing - whether physical, spiritual, or emotional? Are there any exceptions?
6. Think about the last time you needed to be healed. To whom did you go? What happened? Are you willing to share with the group?

We looked at Abraham and saw how God provided for his need.
1. Why is it significant that the name Jehovah is combined with other words that describe God's character?
2. The name Jehovah-jireh is translated "The Lord will provide." How is this quality of His nature manifested in the account of Abraham and Isaac?
3. Thinking back over the account of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah, what was the order of the three key words: obey, love and worship? Why is the order significant?
4. Why do you think God asked Abraham to slay Isaac as a sacrifice?
5. What has God asked you to do that was as difficult for you as sacrificing Isaac must have been for Abraham? Why do you think He required that of you?
6. Briefly, how has Jehovah-jireh provided for our "deaths"? What sacrifice has He made for us?
7. What is the meaning of the Old Testament word jireh?
8. How is God's ability to foresee pertinent to your life?
9. When you have any need, what can you expect from Jehovah-jireh?
10. Recall a time in your walk with Jehovah, jireh when He met your need. Would you be willing to share it for others' encouragement?
11. Is there anything not covered above that you would like to share about how God is working in your life?
