The ONE who sees me
She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: "You
are the God who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the One who
sees me." Genesis 16:13
In the dessert alone Hagar was running
away from her problems; some that she caused on her own and some that were put
upon her. She was asked by Sarah to bare a child for Abraham and Hagar did so obediently.
But once she became pregnant with Abrahams child Hagar began acting arrogant
and defiant towards Sarah. This drew Sarah’s wrath upon Hagar and Hagar ran
away.
There
are times when we might feel that our problems are overwhelming and that there
is no way out. We may feel like running away, or withdrawing and may not want
to face up to the situation. We may even
feel ashamed or fearful to go to God because through our own action that is the
reason it happened in the first place. But God is the one who see us (Gen
16:13) and He knows what we have done and nothing is hidden from Him (Hebrews 4:13)
yet He loves us anyhow (Romans 8:39). Hagar was told by the angel to go back and be obedient to Sarah,
in other words, fix the problem by doing the right thing. God also gave her the
promise of a son. She knew then that the LORD saw her and cared for her. He sees us too and truly cares for us.
He is there to assist us in all our trials
whether we had them happen to us or if we caused them ourselves. God also has a blessing
for us once we face our fear in faith a go through our trail or challenge.
Through it all God is there for us and is helping us, call on Him, He sees you
and is watching over you.

Woman, trust in the God that sees you. He is there for you no matter what. He
will always love and care you and knows you so well.
