Saturday Morning Devotional
The God Who Sees
I have been reading Genesis lately, and I keep seeing a common theme – The Lord sees us, and He can open our eyes to see what He wants us to see – how fitting! In Genesis chapter 16, Hagar was so distraught that she ran away from Abram and Sarai. At that time, the Lord heard her cry and appeared to her to encourage her. She called Him, “The God Who Sees.”
Just a few chapters later, in Genesis chapter 21, Hagar and her son Ishmael were sent away. They were alone in the wilderness and under great distress. She truly felt they were at the end of their lives. But God again heard their cries and encouraged them. She was out of resources, but the Lord opened her eyes to see His blessings – a well of water that she had not been able to see earlier!
Life Application
Wherever you are in life, in the blessings or in the hard times, know that the Lord hears your prayers, and He sees you! He will guide you, uplift you, protect you, and encourage you. Many times we are so caught up in our circumstances that we cannot see a way out of them. Pray for the Lord to open your eyes to His solutions and let Him guide you! He will truly be with you in the good times as well as the bad ones, because He is the God Who sees!
