Hagar has been mistreated by her mistress Sarah. She’d not wanted to do what was asked of her, but as a slave with no rights or opinions, she’d had no choice. Out of desperation, she finally fled because she couldn’t take the abuse and the pain anymore; but she quickly found herself alone and defenseless, without shelter or sustenance. Perhaps you’ve wondered the same as Hagar when she found herself alone at a desert well: “Does anyone care about me? Does anyone know what I’m going through?” Perhaps you’ve even wondered if God cares and you’ve even cried out, “Do you see what I’m going through, God, and how bad it is?" The answer to all these heart-rending questions, as it was for Hagar, is: Yes, HE does! Because, as with Hagar: GOD sees you! Know that as an individual, you are known by HIM!
