Have you ever heard God called El Roi? It means the God who sees me. GOD as in the ALL knowing, ALL seeing, ALL powerful one. He sees ME! ME in I, myself, and mine. Which also means He sees YOU and Yours too.
"You are the God who sees me, ... I have now seen the One who sees me."
- Genesis 16:13 (NIV)
We find "El Roi" name for God used by in the desert by a lonely Hagar, the handmaid of Sarah and Abraham. Hagar is greatly mistreated and feels cheated roe than once in the book of Genesis. Yet, she and her son are recognized by God and given comfort of their own promises rom Him.
You may be going through a trial by God or through a horrible test of faith like the devil inflicted on Job. You may be encounting wrong treatment by people around you or you may be reaping something you may have brought upon yourself through loss of faith.
"Yet you know me, Lord; you see me and test my thoughts about you..."
- Jeremiah 12:3 (NIV)
The prophet Jeremiah understood how it felt to have people try to harm him verbally and physically. Yet, he realized his God was with him and had a plan for his life. He may have been discouraged and his attitude was not always good, but he knew his God. However, his faith in his calling was stronger than his weaknesses. Jeremiah put his trust in the Lord to keep him safe and help him to deliver the words God wanted him to share.
Rest assured, God sees and recognizes you too. He has a good plan for you too. No matter what is going on in your life right now, remember He sees you and He wants the best for you. It may take some time. but you will come out of whatever is going on in your life. Look for your best attitude in every situation that tempts your faith. Will you come out closer to the God who sees? Will you recognize His love and help when it comes? Rise in His glory and stand on your faith.
