The first use of this name for God is found in Genesis 16:1-16
. GE 16:13 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." 14 That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
. The story is about a slave girl, a foreigner, who is asked to sleep with her master’s husband. She gets pregnant, and is despised by her master.
“God Sees Me” has a personal touch about it. For God does see each one of us …
. 2CH 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. …
. PS 33:18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love
. God sees all … God sees the rich, God sees the poor. God saw Harar, this poor woman found forgiveness. God sees the old Old. God sees the Young. God sees the Good. God sees the bad.
Does it un-nerve you that God Sees Me – all of me? (God not only sees, but he hears. Did you know Ishmael means: God hears me) God does not just see me, God hears me.
. PS 94:8 Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise? 9 Does he who implanted the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
. Read - Psalm 139:1-16.
. God sees where you go, He sees what you do. He hears what you say, God even knows what you think!
JER 23:23-24 "Am I only a God nearby," declares the LORD, "and not a God far away? Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the LORD. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the LORD.
It is only because God cares (yes, God cared for Hagar) the God even looks at us. It is really for our best that God sees us. God Loves us. God sent His only Son to die for us. God wants us to Love Him ~ and God desires us to live for Him. If we do, God Sees ... present and future.
. As God sees, He is our Shepherd, Our Guide, Our Protector. It is all good.
. Thank You Lord, for being the God who sees. El-Roi.
