"She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: 'You are the God who sees me'โฆ" Genesis 16:13
Sometimes when we are facing discouraging circumstances we feel like God does not see us or hear us, but He does. Hagar is a prime example. She fled from her mistress Sarai after Sarai treated Hagar poorly. In the midst of Hagarโs tense situation with Sarai, God sent a word of encouragement to Hagar, letting her know all would be well in the end. Hagar had not even begun to pray before God came to the rescue. He spoke to her about her future and directed her on what to do next. Because of this, Hagar called God โEl Roi,โ the Hebrew name for โThe God Who Sees.โ Out of all the ways Hagar could describe God, she used this Hebrew word, because this was how she perceived God - one who sees.
We know we can count on God as El Roi, because He is all-seeing. When going through a difficult situation, it can cause doubts over whether God really sees and knows just exactly what we are going through. But we can take heart in remembering Hagarโs situation, in which God answered before she had even called upon Hishttps://thelife.com/devotionals/the-god-who-sees name.
