She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” — Genesis 16:13 (NLT) Sarai treated Hagar so harshly that she finally ran away. However, the angel of the LORD found Hagar beside a spring of water in the wilderness... (See Genesis 16:6-7 NLT) Wherever we go, we can never escape from the Spirit of Yahweh. We can never get away from His Presence. (See Psalms 139:7) Psalms 139:9-10 says: “If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.” When it seems as though you are wandering in the wilderness, remember that He is “the God Who Sees me.” (El Roi) He is with you and is aware of your circumstances. Yahweh will instruct you and guide you along the right path. Psalms 16:11 says, He will show you the way of life, granting you the joy of His presence and the pleasures of li...

Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are God Who Sees”; for she said, “Have I not even here [in the wilderness] remained alive after seeing Him [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?” Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi (Well of the Living One Who Sees Me); it is between Kadesh and Bered. — Genesis 16:13-14 (AMP) The Angel of the LORD came to Hagar by a spring of water in the wilderness. She was fleeing from the presence of her mistress Sarai, who was dealing harshly with her, after she conceived a baby with Abram. (See Genesis 16:4-7) Wherever you are today, know that El Roi (the “God Who Sees”), sees you with understanding and compassion. God is full of compassion, and His understanding is infinite. (See Psalms 86:15 & 147:5 NKJV) He has heard your affliction, and just as He had a plan for Hagar and her descendants, He also has a plan for you. (See Genesis 16:10-12) The LORD has examined your heart and He knows everything about you. He k...

Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are God Who Sees”; for she said, “Have I not even here [in the wilderness] remained alive after seeing Him [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?” — Genesis 16:13 (AMP) The Angel of the LORD found Hagar, Sarai’s maid, by a spring of water in the wilderness. She had run away because of the harsh treatment she was receiving from Sarai. He instructed her to go back and submit to her authority. Then the Angel of the LORD said to her, “I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.” He also told her to name the son she was carrying Ishmael, because the LORD has heard her affliction. (See Genesis 16:7-11). If you are going through challenging times, know that Yahweh hears your affliction and suffering. And He is El Roi, the God Who Sees. He sees you with understanding and compassion. Whether you are in the wilderness or a fiery furnace, He is with you. Continue to persevere t...

There is no need to try and hide. He knows all of our thoughts and feelings and He sees us with understanding and compassion. He holds us by the hand and watches over us for good and not for harm. O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! — Psalm 34:8 (NASB)

Your situation may not be all that you want it to be right now, but know that God sees you. He is intimately acquainted with all your ways. He sees you with understanding and compassion. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 NASB)
