He Sees Me!

by Johnson Bowie
Have you ever felt invisible, like you were overlooked and unimportant? We all want to be accepted, but in a world full of people doing anything they can to feel seen by others, we have the joy of serving a God who goes by the name El Roi—the God who sees us. He knows every detail of our lives and chooses to walk with us through it all. He calls each of us by name, and we can rest in the truth that we are never alone, overlooked or forgotten!

WHAT GOD DOES flows from WHO GOD IS.

Genesis 16:1-13 NIV
Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai said... He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress. Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.” “Your slave is in your hands,” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her. The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert... And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”... The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count”... She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are [EL ROI] the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”

Joshua 2:1 NLT
Then Joshua secretly sent out two spies from the Israelite camp at Acacia Grove. He instructed them, “Scout out the land on the other side of the Jordan River, especially around Jericho.” So the two men set out and came to the house of a PROSTITUTE named RAHAB and stayed there that night.

Romans 8:28 NLT
And we know that God causes EVERYTHING to work together for the GOOD of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Matthew 26:6-13 NIV
While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.” Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
