YOU ARE THE GOD WHO SEES ME

 

Genesis 16:1-16 / Keywords 16:13

YOU ARE THE GOD WHO SEES ME

 

1. Sarah and Hagar (1-6)

10 years had passed but God’s promise was not fulfilled. Sarah’s patience

ran out. She felt sorry to Abram that she gave her slave to him according to her

contemporary practice. Abram should have refused her, instead of listening to her

like Adam. Then unexpectedly Hagar despised Sarah when she was pregnant.

Sarah and Abram argued blaming each other. The spiritual order was broken at

home. Sarah mistreated Hagar and she fled. Now the whole thing massed up.

 

2. I have seen the One who sees me (7-16)

But God had mercy on Hagar because of Abram. He found her and gave the

direction to return and submit herself to her mistress. Hagar obeyed God being

greatly comforted and thanked for God’s grace and promise even toward a slave

girl confessing, “ I have now seen the One who sees me.” Thus she bore Abraham

a son, Ishmael in his 86 years old. But the result of the human idea would give

history long headaches too.

 

Prayer Lord, you are the one who sees and helps us up to our mistakes.

However, help us not to be impatient but have faith in you and your word!

One Word I have seen the One who sees me
