“Thou God seest me (YOU-Are-the-GOD-Who-Sees me): ...” Genesis 16:13
God is everywhere. But, we cannot see Him.
The Holy Bible tells us about a young woman named Hagar. She was a slave and Sarah, the wife of Abraham was her mistress. One day, she ran away from her mistress. She went far away to a strange place. She thought nobody loved her. She was very unhappy. She sat down by a well of water. And she thought she was all alone.
But she was not alone. God was there. He really saw her; He really knew her trouble. He really knew her heart was very sad. And HE really loved her. He is the ONLY GOD who really loves all mankind. HE loves the powerless, the outcasts, the poor, the mistreated, the slaves who have no rights, not even the right of reply, and those who are far from faith.
Suddenly Hagar heard God talk to her! God said to Hagar,
“Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.”
Genesis 16:9
Hagar was so surprised! She did not think God would see her there! But God did see her! Then she called the name of God who spoke to her,
“THOU GOD seest me (YOU-Are-the-GOD-Who-Sees me): ...”
Genesis 16:13
Hagar was glad. She obeyed God. She went back to her mistress and God took care of her.
It made Hagar happy to know that God saw her. She had been so sad and she had thought she was all alone. But God saw her all the time.
It should make us happy to think that God is everywhere, that He really sees us and that we are never alone. When we go to bed at night, God is there. Wherever you go during the day, God is with you. You are never alone. Doesn't it make you happy to know that HE is everywhere?
It should make us careful too, to think that God is always everywhere. So we should do only things that please HIM.
“...HIS eyes behold, HIS eyelids try (test), the children of men.”
Psalm 11:4
