El Roi

The God who sees....that's what El Roi means. He is first called this name by Hagar in the book of Genesis as she is in quite the crisis. She is pregnant with Abraham's baby because she was made to be with him and Sarah (Abraham's wife) is now furious and wants her out of sight and out of mind. She is in the desert, afraid and lonely and without anyone to come to her aid and then......right on time....the Lord speaks to her. He sees her condition, her location, her dilemma, her broken heart, and he gives her instruction and most of all hope. He loves her when she feels unloved and sees her when no one else does. Have you been there? Have you felt like no one sees your pain? Have you felt like your situation is hopeless, your heart is broken, your wandering around lost in an emotional desert and no one sees you? ......Oh my dear friend....El Roi does! He knows EXACTLY where you are and how you feel. He has compassions that fail not....mercies that are new every morning......a love that is beyond measure and can not be severed and no one can pluck you out of His hand. Relish in those facts. He is YOUR God....and he sees you. He'll never leave you alone. Praise His name!
