NLH Church Message 09-08-24: God the Nurturing Father by Rev. Richard Heron and Ava Green, Pastor
“‘You are the God who sees me.’ She also said, ‘Have I truly seen the One who sees me?’” Genesis 16:13b (NLT)
His name is El Roi, the God who sees.
The Lord revealed this name to a woman named Hagar in the Bible. She was an Egyptian servant who worked for a barren woman named Sarah. Sarah decided to have a child by asking her husband to sleep with Hagar. Sarah then mistreated pregnant Hagar to the point that she ran away to the desert.
We can surely understand Hagar’s urge to run away. We have felt it many times. But through the name El Roi, we discover that in our lowest moments, someone sees us. God sees our pain. He hears our cries.
We’re never alone because we serve a God who sees us. We can rest knowing God is never unaware of what we are going through. He is the all-seeing nurturing Father.
