What do I know about God?
El Roi
God Sees
Where do you run to when you feel mistreated and alone?
Where can you find comfort?
Does anyone see your need?
The Lord is “the God who sees me.”
When we understand that the Lord is aware of our pain and need, it gives us help to keep going and trust Him to be there for us.
God not only sees us, He sees the future.
He promised Hagar a future for her unborn son Ishmael.
We too have hope for tomorrow, whatever our pain is today.
God sees all as El Roi and so is never caught by surprise.
The story of Hagar and Ishmael.
Whenever we run ahead of God, there is trouble. The flesh loves to help God, (And we don’t do it God’s way) but true faith is shown in patience, trusting God and doing life God’s Way.
Maybe like Hagar you're also running from a difficult situation in which you were unjustly treated and maybe like Hagar you were part of the problem. Take comfort in the truth that El Roi sees your distress. He has heard how you've have been spoken to.
Story of the Rose
In the lonely places, where danger and uncertainty lurk on every side, God’s children are not really alone. God overlooks none; He sees them all.
For the ways of a man are before the EYES of the LORD and He watches ALL his paths.There is no hiding from El Roi Who watches over you, seeing and knowing all that happens, and "He is able to come to the aid of those who are (being continuously) tempted (tested or tried)" (Heb 2:18).
Psalms 139
David prays: Search me, O God and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts and SEE if there be any hurtful way in me and lead me in the everlasting way.
Proverbs 5:21 21 For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He watches all his paths.
Keep your eyes on the Lord; He never takes His eyes off you.And because this is eternally true of the Name of the Lord, El Roi...
Let Everything that has Breath Praise Him
