Do you see "Me" - Really?

Listen Later

This message - about one of the important characteristics of the Lord - The God, who sees... amazing!

When Hagar had run away to a desert place far from those she felt hurt and betrayed by, we see God surround her in so much grace and care.

He didn’t leave her alone in her troubles. Nor will He leave us to fend for ourselves through difficult times.

“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

El Roi means “The God Who Sees” – I love the kindness and care that this name holds as it points to God’s character.

  • He is one who chases after us, who follows us with goodness.
  • He is the one who sees us when we feel lonely, all on our own, or when we just need the reminder that God is close.

    • God reminding us - we are somebody…

    • Couple of weeks ago – we saw how Giddeon’s tribe was the least and that Giddeon was the last one in his family – but still he was visible to God.
  • David was the last son, but the prophet waited for him to come home.
  • Daniel was a slave picked up from Israel, but God saw him and made him in important position in Babylon.
  • Joseph was thrown in a pit, sold as a slave, but because God saw him, he was lifted to a place of honor in Egypt.
  • The list goes on and on...

    • The name El Roi says to us that God is watching over all, that He sees the affairs of people, and knows when we feel lost and unloved.
