Word of God Wednesday - Genesis 16:13
The God Who sees me. These are powerful words that were spoken by an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar, who found herself caught in the middle of a huge marital mess between Abraham and Sarah. I'm sure that we'll find time to talk more about Abraham & Sarah on another day. Today, however, I want to focus on Hagar and the stunning revelation she had on the day that she met God in the desert.
The Lord God spoke truth into her life during this encounter and she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that He was able to truly see who she was, and what she was going through.
How about you? Do you believe that God sees you and knows you today?
I must admit that I have had days in my life that I just wasn't sure that God really understood what I was going through. I mean, how could He possibly know what I was going through being a full-time Mom? Did He have dirty laundry up to His eyeballs and hungry people constantly asking Him, "Hey, what's for dinner?" I don't think so! He couldn't possible relate. right?
This idea couldn't be farther from the truth. We only have to look at the life of Hagar to realize that He DOES know who we are as women. If He can see into the life of a dejected maidservant, surely He can see into mine. If He can cut through her circumstances with just a few words, surely He can speak into mine. Through prayer, study of His Word, and fellowship with other believers, I have experienced a God who sees me and knows me better than I know myself.
Have you?
I'd love to know how you would answer that question.
Also, if you're ever in need of prayer, our team is here for you! Just leave us a comment on any of our posts and let us know. We care deeply about our readers and really want to connect with you.
