This week, we start a new series titled "Knowing God by Names," beginning with "El Roi - The God Who Sees." Our focus is on Hagar's story, where God intervenes and prevents her from fleeing to Egypt. Pastor Joy reminded us that God sees us in every situation and is always with us.

Feeling abandoned is difficult; many of us have experienced this when life takes unexpected turns. In such confusion, we may wonder where God is. However, we must remember that the Lord is a good shepherd and seeks us out.

When faced with problems, we may feel lost and drift away from Him. Yet, God wants us to submit to Him during our trials, as He knows our true needs. While obedience can be hard in tough times, the path of disobedience is even more challenging.

God sees our struggles and stands with us. We must trust Him to care for us and hold on to His promises and hope for the future.
