9. Where do you run to when you
feel mistreated and alone?
Where can you find comfort?
Does anyone see your need?
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. God sees all as El Roi and
so is never caught by
surprise.
13. 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.
14. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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).
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.
19. Proverbs 5:21
21 For the ways of a man are before
the eyes of the Lord, And He watches
all his paths.
20. 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
