You are the God Who Sees Me
In Genesis 16 we meet Hagar. A servant who belonged to Abram and Sarai (not yet Abraham and Sarah). Hagar found herself in a very difficult situation trying to please Sarai. Hagar was so hurt and upset that she ran far away from her home. But then an angel of the Lord came to her and asked her why have you run away? As she listened to the angel and confronted her fears she realized that she was not alone.
“You are the God who sees me”
God sees everything that we do. He knows our fears and anxiety. Like Hagar we can try to run away but we can’t run from God. In times of distress and hurt we can find comfort knowing that God is watching. He promises to help us, love us, and guide us through ALL things. He promises not to abandon us.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6.
If you are hurting or scared or feel alone; repeat this scripture throughout the day. Nothing is too big or too small for God. He’s with you. He’s our shepherd. He is the God who sees you! The El Roi!
